Now that 2010 is almost over, we're starting to turn our attention to the Game of the Year awards process. We're starting by putting together a list of categories, and I figured it'd be cool to hear some suggestions from you guys. I can't guarantee that we'll use them all (in fact, I can pretty much guarantee that we won't use them all), but if you have any award categories you'd really like to see, post 'em!
For reference, I can already confirm that we'll be doing...
2010's 2009 Game of the Year
Best Nolan North Performance In A Nolan North Game By Nolan North
Suggest Categories for Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards
- 'Best use of a big ass ramp' should return.
- Best use of the Kinect technology (not necessarily the best game, but the best display of the technology)
- Best use of the Playstation Move technology (same as above)
I believe "Character We'd Most Like to Party With" needs to return.
I also think that Keith Ingram needs to be a nominee.
Some more "serious" suggestions:
- Best Story/Narrative (For a Game)
- Best Multiplayer (Competitive and Cooperative
- Best Villain
- Biggest Bummer
- Best Add-On Downloadable content (a shit ton of really great stuff this year, between the ME2 stuff, Undead Nightmare and that Bioshock 2 add-on that Brad was so wowed by, but the name escapes me of)
best game for an endurance run that wont become an endurance run! (for all of those people who are killing for another endurance run, kind of to spite them haha)
I think we should just defer to the
The Deadly Premonition award because it can't really go in any actual game category but deserves an award award
Best ridiculous accent. Heavy Rain (pronunciation of origAMi killer) and Just Cause 2 (Bolo Santossi) come to mind.
Best Game that could've used Jeff Bridges?
Best Game that could use John Vignocchi as its pitch man?
Worst game to have had a delay hit by?
Best DLC expansion/add on/Pre LC.
If this is the way games are going, with companies needing those extra few dollars per game, it would be good to recognise add-ons that try and be something more than just more of the same.
I'm all for good DLC.
Also, Character We Most Want to Punch in the Face.
This." C. Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence "
Also, 2010's "Thing" of the Year. For example, Color Separation should be a nominee. As should Post-Match Awards.
