Best Shooter

It would have to be Far Cry 3 for me, just because its one of those games that comes along and revolutionizes shooters to the next level.
Best RPG

Torchlight 2, bringing an RPG game out in style, along with general fun gameplay.

Best Rhythm Game

Rocksmith Guitar, which I personally think was underrated, as it provided a fully realistic guitar playing experience, and the challenging side to it made it all the more fun.

Best Driving Game

Trials Evolution, even more fun than the originals, along with map creating which is oh so fun... :)

Best Action Game

Despite Far Cry 3 being the better shooter, Borderlands 2 opening the game up with a car being demolished by a train, only to have the train explode from a dynamite horde. The gameplay also puts this games where is deservedly sits.

Best Sports Game

Football Manager 2013, massively fun in strategic gameplay, good 3D graphics when watching football matches, carries on the wide success of the predecessors.

Best Tablet or Smartphone Game

The World Ends With You: Solo Remix, just because the DS version was simply sublime, and this game proves moving platform affects the game in no way whatsoever, aside from making it even more fun to play.

Best PSP or Vita Game

Mortal Kombat, just cause... It's Mortal Kombat dammit, it's too fun to suck on any platform.

Best DS or 3DS Game

Metal Gear Solid 3D - Snake Eater, when this came out, we would all have been a little skeptical about the huge change in platform, but it just goes to show, Nintendo went all out and produced a wonderful, open-world game.

Best Wii or WiiU Game

In my personal opinion, ZombiU has been one of the more underrated WiiU games. Despite its bugs (which all games have) it's a great open world non-ending game, that just feels like you've played for minutes, only to find out it's been hours... or days... ooor eeeven yeeeeeeeeeeeears

Best Xbox 360 Game

Best PS3 Game

Best PC Game

The game that has to go under all of these, in my opinion, is the wonderful Far Cry 3... just look at it man.

Best Graphics

This may be cheating a little, but the GTA V second trailer (which was released this year) has shown that, so far, the rendered graphics are planning to bury L.A. Noire's facial motion camera shizzle.

Best Game Soundtrack

Sorry, but Far Cry 3 wins again. I hated Skrillex til this game made me embark on one hell of a mission.

Best Multiplayer Game

Well, X-COM Enemy Unknown has to been this, as it is very, very fun indeed.

Best PSN/Xbox Live Arcade/WiiWare Game

It may not technically be done yet, but Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is looking to be a great multiplayer, as awesomely fun as it is already.

Best Overall Platform

New Super Mario Bros. WiiU, he's a-back, it's a-fun... I'm-a gonna stop doing the voice now.

Best Online Service

Steam summer sale... 'nuff said.

Worst Console

PS3 hasn't really brought out any huge blockbusters this year, but 2013 looks more promising. Does the PS3 have to get with the WiiU and Xbox's Glassnote though?

Best Game No One Played - There were tons of AAA games released this year, but which one do you feel didn't get the recognition it deserved?

Most Overrated Game

Black Ops 2, how to make a sequel to a Call of Duty game now-a-days, Ctrl C last folder and Ctrl V, rename game, change textures minimally, ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.

Most Creative

Again, didn't really come out but was revealed this year, Watch Dogs, the story looks fun, gameplay looks awesome, I have seen faith in my humanity!!!

Studio of the Year

Ubisoft... Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3, well done... gaming is sacred again.

The One that Got Away

GTA V, you were being ambitious when you hoped for a 2012 release now weren't you?

Biggest Disappointment

Duke Nukem Forever... 14 fucking years 3D Realms... 14 YEARS.

Game of the Year

Overall, Far Cry 3's won it for me... great graphics, awesome gameplay, beautiful open world, never ending, story is intense, just makes me want to play it FOREVER...

I like the addition, it's one of those social networks you actually like for the sakes of the decent people on it.

Then again I don't think there are any social networks other than this with decent people on it...

I legally cannot vote either... 1 was my first ever game I played but 2 opened a whole universe of gaming for me.

In all, 1 for gameplay, 2 for design and story.
