Quest to Nowhere

Figured since I did these last year I should do them again this year, although this year I’ve decided to not make it completely about videogames since the site isn’t completely about videogames anymore. Also I had a hard time coming up with nominees for all the categories I came up with last year. Also I decided to be lazy and not do any write ups for the awards like I did last year, so anyway on with the awards.

*They didn’t come out this year, but I read them all this year. So that’s what I’m counting.

**This one I haven’t decided on yet. I was torn between Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout 3, but I just started playing Yakuza 2 which could (from the 45 minutes I’ve played it,) take this spot instead. So rather then name something now, I’ll finish Yakuza 2 and then decide.
