    What are your nominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    I need some nominations from as many of you as possible. A list of 5-10 games that you think should be up for nomination.

    Once I've got a decent list, I'll set up a poll to vote for Game Of The Year and reveal the results around the Xmas period.

    Still a few games left this year, so feel free to come back and edit your post. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, for example, is out next week.

    Personally, RDR has been the stand out game I've played. I'm guessing most people will suggest ME2 should be up there but it was nowhere near the first IMO and feel a bit ass pained because of it.

    Will you be doing a best in genre or just an overall list?

    Also, glad to see you acknowledged more games are still yet to come out - most other places have started dishing awards out for games yet to be released :S
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: What are your mominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    Mass Effect 2 was very good although pretty much more of the same from Mass Effect.

    Same with Fallout: New Vegas.

    Not sure I've seen anything really innovative yet.

    Just for sheer time played Id have to say F:NV

    Re: What are your mominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    Mass Effect 2 is the only game I'd suggest, to be honest

    Battlefield BC2
    I'll come back on CoD BO when I've had a chance to play it.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: What are your mominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    Starcraft 2 (PC) - Blizzard realised that what everyone wanted was a bit more Starcraft and the revelation was that they didn't change too much in the gameplay.

    Torchlight (PC) - while released digitally last year, it was released in retail this year, and has been one of my most played games.

    Osmos (iDevices) - the PC version last year was brilliant, but playing this on touch based devices is another level of enjoyment. Pure ambient/chilled gaming.

    Shatter (PC) - retro brick-breaking game with a twist and great soundtrack

    I don't think I've played any other new games this year apart from ME2 which I don't think is worthy of nominating.

    Games I haven't played yet: Fallout:NV, Two Worlds II, Gothic 4

    Re: What are your mominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    This year for me, the indie based developers surpassed the "big name" games. Two i have played most are....

    Mount and Blade: Warband (purely based on the great 200 player multiplayer fun)
    Amnesia

    Think we'll just do an overall game of the year. The Top 10 as voted by readers based on the top nominations, but we'll also be doing HEXUS staff games of the year, so we may split that into genres.

    Re: What are your nominations for HEXUS readers Game Of The Year

    The only game I bought this year was Metro 2033. I've hardly had chance to play it but initial impression - I think it looks OK.

    Found myself replaying Tomb Raider Underworld as a lad at work bought the XBox360 version and kept asking me questions when he got stuck.
