Best Games Awards.

Best Fighting Game - Tekken 2: I love this game, perhaps a hge stepping stone to what fighting games would become.
Best FPS - Rainbow Six: Probably not that popular, but I don't play FPS that much and it was basically, for me, out of Rainbow Six and Killzone, with R6 standing out more in my mind.
Best RPG - Final Fantasy VIII: In my opinion, the greatest game ever.
Best Sports Based Game - WWE Smackdown v Raw 2010: I don't even know whether professional wrestling is technically considered a sport, but WWE games are the only ones I play. This one is the best of the lot.
Best Tactics Game - Final Fantasy Tactics: Again, I don't play many of this genre, but I love FFT.
Best Platformer - Kirby's Dreamland: I had the toughest time picking out of my favourites. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Pandemonium, Sonic, so many to choose. But I think Kirby is probably my favourite.
Best Adventure Game - Tomb Raider: It was the one that made the genre more popular than ever. A lot of games could come under the adventure umbrella, but TR stood out the most as the true adventure game.
Best Survival Horror - Resident Evil 2: No competition in my opinion. RE2 is the scariest game ever created and the pinnacle of the Survival Horror genre.
Best Point and Click Game - Broken Sword 2: The only one I've ever played. But it is a great game.
Best Puzzle-Based Game - Kula World: I used to play it for hours on end. Addictive, and that's what you want in a puzzle game.
Best Strategy Game - Command & Conquer: I don't know whether it is considered a tactical game, but it seems more strategy based. Again, I don't play many of these kind of games, but this one is good.

Best Final Fantasy Game - Final Fantasy VIII: While not everyone's choice for best FF, VIII is the one that will always be my favourite.
Best New Gen Game - Nier: It may have recieved some bad reviews, but I found this game refreshing, the story is endearing, and the characters are well put together. The greatest experience I've ever had on PS3.
Best Retro Game - Kirby's Dreamland: Standing out to me as the best retro game.
Best Game Series - Final Fantasy: I wanted to go with something different, but I felt like I couldn't.
Best Visual Effects in a Game (for its time) - Final Fantasy VIII: Truly awe inspiring when it came out. The backgrounds and FMV sequences were the best graphics on PS1.
Best Game Of All Time - Final Fantasy VIII: I truly believe it is this good. I will always think this too.

I've gone for Final Fantasy VIII quite a few times, but it truly is that good
