      For me, Resi Revelations wins by a mile. It was the kinda Resi game I've been waiting for since I first finished Resi 4, and I far prefered it over Resi 6.

      From what I've seen of it, Gravity Rush does seem to have deserved it's spot, but it's still a shame to see that neither Pokemon nor KH3D placed at all. I mean, Kingdom Hearts is probably just me fanboying, but there are too many people here saying Pokemon for it to bi ignored, damn it!

      Great. Now I've voted for Pokémon BW2 on both the RPG AND handheld polls. I didn't really want to, but seriously, leaving it off this list especially is a MASSIVE oversight. Again, not to say I neccessarily think it should've WON, but to not nominate it at all!? Like I mentioned on an earlier article, did it get completely forgotten because it's a DS game? For what it is, I think it uses that 'old' technology enormously well and besides the aspect ratio, I hardly think about the fact I'm not playing a 3DS game. The game was a huge improvement over BW (or even DP, considering the shared technology) and there is seriously so much stuff crammed into that game, you'll wonder how they did it.

      What the fuck even is an Action Adventure game? Gravity Rush? Isn't that a platformer? Hitman Absolution? Isn't that stealth? Hotline Miami? Isn't that a top-down shooter? Kid Icarus Uprising? Isn't that a rail shooter/Third Person Shooter? Dishonored? Isn't that a stealth game?

      While I would have gone with either Far Cry or Spec Ops (Dat storyline!) Halo 4 is a valid winner. Overall great year for shooters.

      No, all of you are wrong, Max Payne 3 is the best shooter of the year. It is far and above the game that best exemplifies "shooter" out of all of these. It is only about shooting, and unlike other games in its own arena of "just shooting things in the face" (e.g. Vanquish, Painkiller, Serious Sam, etc.), it manages a fantastic narrative flair and cinematic style. Only Vanquish can match its absurd amounts of style by virtue of its bombastic explosiveness and attention to kinetic, beautiful combat. But hey, y'know, I suppose if we're talking shooters in the more modern sense, that is, delivering the "full package" of narrative and campaign and strong multiplayer; then yes, I concede, Halo 4 is the clear winner. 343 did a good job delivering a fresh experience that continues to excite and even astound no matter which game mode you choose. It makes sense to adhere to the modern standards, I suppose. But you should understand that where the term "shooter" is concerned - where the long and short of the experience is pumping lead into digital faces - Max Payne 3 is king.

      Far Cry 3 should have taken this. Halo 4 wasn't that good to be honest and is running entirely on franchise hype now like COD.
