      This list is flawed. If a game has millions of players it is not automatically an mmo. League of Legends is not an mmo, it is a moba (massive online battle arena.) If we're going to use the flawed logic that LoL is an mmo simply because it has a large player base, then angry birds is also an mmo because it also has a huge player base. If LoL is being included then games like dota or smite should also be included. But they aren't. The list doesn't even have WoW or GW2 included, which basically define the mmo genre. Personally, I would vote EVE. Even if WoW and GW2 were included, eve has done a lot this year to improve the game quality.

      No Guild War 2, No World of Warcraft--even with Mists just released--but EVE Online is on the list... Shouldn't this award be titled "Third Best MMO Award"?

      SPEWEDHARDCOREJOY I voted World of Tanks because they offered all the players a bunch of premium goodies if they won.

      Gravity Rush for me. Since I don't own a 3DS I can't say much about other games. Spent most of the time during Gamescom trying to get all the achievements and did it while waiting to play DmC/Resi 6/Lost Planet 3. Plus it looks great, the gameplay is simply amazing but the best part is flying or rather falling around the city. On the downside the story is rather simple and as stated before by sweetchiliheat the sliding is not executed well

      I guess I'm the odd one out because I voted for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. That game was some of the best time I have spent playing a DS in years!

      Pokemon Black and White 2 for me. Yes, it's the same tried and true formula, but I'm having way more fun with 2 than I did with 1 to be honest. Also, I don't have the money to get either a Vita or a 3DS right now or in the near future, where's an option for the DS people who can afford some games, but not the new handhelds? Especially when we did have a great game released this year? I do want to get Gravity Rush at some point though.

      I think I'll go Dark Souls, had high hopes for Skyrim and Diablo 3 but they were just alright. Also, anyone who's up to date on their JRPGs know if Xenoblade is anything like Xenogears or Xenosaga?

      Marvel will outlast all those games. You can scream elitism all you want and say that Marvel is crap but that's the best fighting game of this generation. It has the biggest community and most hype on tournaments. Even the mighty SFIV took a backseat to MvC3 as the most popular fighting game in the Fighting Game Community right now.

      ssx could be so huge if people just knew how fun playing online is. it took me awhile to even try it, but man...good times. even moreso now that there's real-time competitions. the regular competitions are usually enough for me, though, as they really push you to keep trying, while letting you go at your own pace. it would be so awesome to see ssx win this award. "sports" game is somewhat of a loose categorization for it.

      Though I believe F1 2011 will win it, I still voted for TrackMania 2 Canyon. It's currently the only racing game I know that allows you to race with 200 players on a single track. Not only that but all the customization options you have definitely makes it unique and deserving for the Best Racer category in my book this year. Of course, to top it off, the game's track editor is just ridiculously crazy at what it allows you to do. It's literally LBP + Need for Speed.

      Again, the only one of these I've actually played has been Darksiders 2- and honestly, I'm not sure I'd even vote for THAT to be the all-out action game of the year. I'm started to realise how badly I've been keeping up with games this past year or so.

      Well, personally I didn't think any of the ones I've played on this list were amazing, but I guess out of the list, i'd say batman. I still need to finish it too. But if I get around to getting asura's wrath before the end of the year, I have a feeling I'll change my mind. It's just so badass that it's funny.

      When I choose a long time ago, I chose CoD: MW3 and even now, I still stick to that decision. To me, it's not the game itself that annoys me at times, it's really the PEOPLE who play it that makes me stray away from it a lot of times but regardless of how much I try to avoid it, MW3 keeps bringing me back. However, it doesn't bring me back more so than I do with CoD4 and MW2 which both are heavily better than MW3 in terms of multiplayer.

      2012 still has 3 months to go and the most anticipated games are arguably released within the period of these months. Why is this happening so soon?
