You know for a VG forum, we don't have to many of us playing together.

As someone who only really plays by himself, I say so what?


That was a great post. Right Zach?

Nope, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Plus, i still associate you with that one "incident" we had on Xbox Live.

You mean where I made fun of you because you were watching Hannah Montana on Netflix? Yeah, that was funny...

Did I put to much effort into my post? I described the reason I liked every game, and nobody else seemed to have done that. Is that what this thread is for? If so, sorry for misunderstanding.

This year is basically over. Although I think the voting should have been held off for at least two weeks, nothing major will probably come out in December.

Why are we restricting the awards to the current console generation, the DS, the PSP, the PC and the iPhone? There's quite a good handful of games that came out this year that weren't made for those systems.

They're the major gaming devices.

Why are people choosing to ignore most of the categories to vote on?

Not everybody can vote on everything. If you didn't play an RPG game this year, how are you suppose to vote on it?

The votes themselves aren't counted until 24th December.

Like what?

Some people just don't have an opinion on those categories, or might not have had any experience in that category.

I'd agree for different reasons, that I can't quite put down in words.

Best Game Soundtrack - The game that had the best overall musical score/use of music throughout the game.
Super Meat Boy. Honestly, I have no other answer for this. I put it simply because it originated on NewGrounds.

Best Multiplayer Game - The game whose multiplayer gives it almost unlimited re-playability.
Red Dead Redemption. I honestly didn't play it very much, mainly because when I was playing it the online mode was terrible

Best PSN/Xbox Live Arcade/WiiWare Game - The best game from the three downloadable services on consoles.
Super Meat Boy. Again, I'm only putting this answer due to me being an NG Fanboy.

Most Overrated Game - This game is constantly talked up, but it really isn't that great.
Black Ops. I'll admit, I haven't played it, but it's an FPS game. In my opinion, FPS games lose to RPG single player games any day.

ALL OF MY FUCKING HATE FUCK YOU.

Jesus man, these reasons are so god damn retarded and I fucking hate your choice in votes for this. Seriously, you can't, for example, put "Black Ops" as most over rated while you have NEVER FUCKING PLAYED IT.

Seriously man, what the fuck!?

It's my opinion, get over it. The Call of Duty series isn't that great in my opinion. I didn't like COD4, WaW, or MW2 very much. They were all extremely overrated. As for Super Meat Boy, I actually have played the trial version of it, and it's the only game I remember the music from. I would have just put "N/A" if I hadn't put it.

It's a mass opinion, it may as well be fact.
And to think, I actually came into this thread fully prepared to apologise and call myself a dint.
But no.

i really think people should vote for stalker call of pripyat as best fps game it had a good story, pretty good graphics and gameplay was fun and challenging. all i see people do is vote for black ops sure it was a good game no where near as good as call of pripyat.

I didn't play or hear of a game called Call of Pripyat, so it would be quite stupid of me to vote for it.

Ah shit how did I forget about Call of Pripyat? Best Shooter was one of the catagories I had the most trouble with because I couldn't think of any FPS games that really stuck out this year. I eventually plumped for Bioshock 2 even though I never finished it but now I wish I'd remembered Call of Pripyat.

PSP and Wii didn't do all that well. I'm a Nintendo BIGTIMEFANBOY and I'm starting to linger over to Xbox360. Sorry Nintendo but sooner or later I'm going to go to Sony or Microsoft.

Yeah, these awards have shown the small amount of voters there were for the user awards. The fact that nine users tied for first place for Most Unbiased Poster says it all. However, for the rest of the awards, congrats to all the winners! I'm actually glad SMC won Most Knowledgeable Poster since I feel I have too many areas in the gaming world that I haven't explored well enough. When I think of the most knowledgeable gamer, I think of someone who's experienced with both old and new games.

As for winning Best Overall VG Poster, thanks to everyone who voted me for this specific category. It may not be the BBS awards but this more than makes up for not being the finals for Best Poster this time. :)

Gee, guys, thanks so much for voting me second worst poster on the BBS. No, seriously, freakin' thank you. I'm sorry I ever started going on these forums. All I wanted to do was voice my opinion and say what I wanted. I did, and people hate me. Oh joy. GOD FORBID I ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE TO A THREAD.

I'm out. Last post from KeroKeroMario, second worst poster. You're welcome.
