Help PSU pick the Best Games of 2012!

[adamdolge]

Hey PSU Community.

We are running our annual Best of 2012 competition and we once again want your help picking the winners. This year we are trying things a little differently. I'd like you to pick the game you think deserves "Best Game of 2012" in the categories listed below. It can include a game on any PlayStation platform--PS3, PS Vita, PSP, PS Mobile, PSN, etc. Do not pick separate platforms--I want to see the best overall Action/Adventure game across all PS platforms and not the best PS Vita Action/Adventure game, best PS3 one, etc.

You have one week to vote. Remember, this is for best games of the year, not necessarily your personal favorites--that may sound weird, but sometimes our personal favorites aren't the best games.

Feel free to discuss your picks, but to keep my job easier, simply copy and paste the list below in order, and fill out your winners. I'd like to stick with just the games, so I didn't include things like best graphics or best characters. If there is a genre I missed, please feel free to add in your suggestion (with your winner) at the bottom.

We'll post the winners on the homepage once voting ends (Sunday, Dec. 16) and you'll find the winners posted on the homepage starting the following Monday. Tell your friends! We want to get as many entries as possible.

Thanks, and have fun picking the best games of 2012!
