GAME OF THE YEAR Nominations

Yup it's almost December.  Here are your instructions o' fellow peeps:

Game of the year: Dead or Alive Extreme 2 (XBOX360)

I've been waiting about a year for this game and it hasn't disappointed me at all.The graphics aren't bad and the Gameplay is as complex as it needs to be,but the best thing about this game is that it's a game anyone can relax with while playing it.The story isn't anything special,but it's not one of those games that feeds off story so it's all good.This game has serious replay value to keep me playing on and off for a very long time and it's in every way deserving of the title:Game of the Year.

Best Overall:Fire Emblem 7 (GBA)

I've loved this game ever since I first played it and it will always be the best overall until there's another Fire Emblem installment that's better.I could write a description of why I love it so much,but here:

Game of the Year; Metal Gear Solid 3 : Subsistence.

It's just a great game. It gives you loads of extras like the ability to play the original Metal Gears that came out for the NES and SNES, it provides extra camera angles, it gives you the ability to play people on online play and in the Brittish version you get an extra disc that gives you trailers for MGS4, MGS: PO and others.

Best Game Ever; Soul Reaver

It's just such a fantastic game mixing action, puzzels and vampires. It was one of the first games I bought and I still own my original copy to this day because it's that damn good.

Game of the Year: Smackdown Vs Raw 2007.

This year's smackdown is just wonderful, the grappling system has improved a lot, their are more wrestlers to play with, loads of new modes and matches, plus the graphics look much more awesome and smooth. :) It's defiantly game of the year. :D

Best Game Ever: Devil May cry 3: Special Edition

It has better graphics, more modes, it has Bloody Palace and most of all u can play as Vergil and Nelo Angelo. 8) Plus Vergil's abilities and moves are much more cooler and better then Dante's. He simply kicks @ss.

Dead or Alive 4. Simply awesome..great combat controls,next gen,online gaming and imo the ultimate game to play versus.Bloody_Kimono_

best overall game --- cv 2 simons quest it was just a great game it was easy to get into and very ntertaining

Game of the Year: Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams

This was the only game which had me really psyched this year. And it was released during the period of finals, but still, I couldn't resist playing it. Awesome storyline. A very engaging plot which involves almost every character seen in the previous games. Really improved gameplay (though I didnt like it as much as Onimusha 2). And characters are also likeable. And the game also gives you a good challenge in the dark realm. Overall, it was a game which I really enjoyed. Finished the game in two days with 26 hours of playtime.

Best Overall: Onimusha 2 : Samurai's Destiny

Onimusha 2: Samurai's destiny is possibly the best game I have ever played. The graphics are just stunning, even though it's 2-D. Gameplay is good and fast not to mention very innovative. The issen(critical counter hit) is the best part of gameplay. Jubei can issen even the enemies that he is not even targeting. This is not the case in Warlords,Demon siege and Dawn of Dreams. Samanosuke and Soki can only issen the enemies whom they are targeting with the R1 button. They can issen any enemy when they're not targeting a particular enemy. This gives Jubei more freedom to deal with his enemies and hence gameplay is more enjoyable. Music is another big issue. The BG music fits the scenario perfectly. It gives me a soothing effect while playing the game. I can really enjoy whoopin enemy a$$es while completely drowning myself in the game's music. The boss fights are really awesome. There are only four bosses, but each of them provide a good challenge and I loved mastering techniques to defeat them. This is probably my favorite game. The only games to really compete with it are MGS2 and Castlevania: SOTN.

Game of the Year: Okay, so i havent played many what i beleive to be GOTY titles, i cant vote. :P but from the looks of things, Gears of War

Overall: Resident Evil 4: Stunning gameplay, graphics ahead of its time and a story that you can dive into that grips you and scares you occasionly. Contains lots of plot twists, and some of the most graphicly impressive bosses ever. ( the IT)
