Genre Awards
See how discreet the title is, thats how discreet the choices to be made are going to be. You would have never seen it coming.
Best FPS
Yep it goes to Black Ops. This iteration of Call of Duty was set in the cold war which is a first for this series. It has the top notch gameplay we have learnt and respected, albeit a tad bit overused, But it also has a twist at the end of the story which really got you thinking... The subpar storyline was easily overlooked as you go through the hordes of the vietcongs, shoot from helicopters, control a helicopter or even playing as a stealthy assassin. The variety in the gameplay always kept you interested.
Best Adventure
Castlevania presented itself beautifully with fine crafted landscapes and beautiful visuals/ scenery. The atmosphere befitted the scenario, such as Draculas castle when fighting carmilla or an arena of fire when fighting Cornell even the depths of hell against Satan. It truly is a remarkable piece of work. The combat system and moves list were great with some fantastic looking attacks mixed in the bag. The sound work enhanced the atmospheric tone with great soundtracks and great voice acting.
Best RPG
Persona 3 was a great experience. It really takes the Role playing to its roots, You practically live the life of the protaginist, you go to school, go out to watch movies with your girlfriend, go out and battle evil. It really defines what role playing really is. We all know that Mitsuru Senpai should have partnered up with the protaginist.
Best Music Game
This was difficult since i tried all the games not bought any. I picked Dance Central since it was a great unique experience. The other contenders ( Rock Band 3, DJ Hero 2) are re-iterations of previous work) Dance central has very good body recognition on the kinect sensor and as a result, it can get you working out and enjoying it at the same time.
Best Platformer
Yep yep yep its SONIC Colours. This game was fantastic it revived Sonic from his what people though his endless spiral of crap. The game mixed 2d and 3d elements to recreate the ****c Sonic we all love. Tails is still a nuisance but eggman still kicks ass. I would have love to see a little more of shadow, but in regards to gameplay, this was fantastic.
Best racer
The single best reason for this game to be awesome This photo says it all.. A dodge viper police car woot!!!!
In all seriousness, we have had many great sims (mainly from Turn 10 :P) but in the arcade ****racing they have been average at best. Blur had a horrible single player and split second was a little tedious with the stunt execution. Criterion games brought need for speed up to notch with this exhilirating racer. This game was also enhanced with a fantastic online multiplayer.
Best Sports Game
Fifa 11 has improved over its predecessor by physics more than anything else its hard to top a great football game. Fifa 11 has an improved player detection which results in a more seamless experience. This game has a great single player mode but is ultimately designed for multiplayer and is a great one at that. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Stay tuned for the GOTY Next week. ( If you cant work it out till now something is definitely wrong)
