PS3 Game of the Year

PS3 Game of the Year (PSN only)

PS Vita Game of the Year (PSN only)

We dedicated this category to digitally released PS Vita titles that weren’t available on store shelves, including free games such as Treasure Park and Frobisher Says.


PS Mobile Game of the Year

The newest member of the PlayStation family is only a few months old, but it’s already attracted a solid launch lineup of bite-sized gems.

This year saw some intriguing applications of PlayStation’s motion controller, from music creation to new gameplay experiences. We counted any application of PlayStation Move, from full-priced Blu-ray games to PSN downloads to Add-on packs.

  • Just love playing what games I have left . Most of my games got stolen can’t afford to buy any for awhile . Just bought a new PS3 my other one was stolen to.

  • If we can only vote for more than one.
    PS Vita – GOTY – UMVC3
    Most Anticipated PS Vita Game – Soul Sacrifice
    Most Anticipated PS3 Game – Deadspace 3

  • Tales from Space: Blob was the most fun I had on my vita so far this year. It deserves to win.

  • For Most Anticipated PS3 Game I voted for a new SOCOM. HD remake or full fledged SOCOM 5 sequel will work jut fine.

  • Though Journey takes my vote for best PSN game of the year, I wanted to give Closure a shout out. It’s a powerful and clever game that went criminally overlooked.

  • Best game for me has to be Far Cry 3 due to the amount of content and most anticipated game has to be GTA 5 surely, it’s the most anticipated game ever with all of the videos and blogs about it.

  • -Dishonored
    -Journey
    -P4Golden
    -Sound Shapes
    -mobile = n/a
    -Sorcery
    -Tomb Raider
    -Other = Dragon’s Crown

  • assassin creed is the way

  • PS3 Gmae of the Year = Resident Evil 6!

    PS3 Game of the Year (PSN only) = One Piece Pirate Warriors!!

    No doubts!!

  • can we vote more than once?

  • Gravity Rush the best game ever!!!!

  • I had no choice but to pick Persona 4 The Golden for best PS VIta game of the year. Seriously I was waiting months to play that game and it was well worth it. It would’ve been the first Vita game that I wouldn’t have minded spending more then $40 on. That’s how good it was to me.
    I also voted for One Piece Pirate Warriors for best PSN game due to how much fun I had with it. I think I’m probably the only one who voted for that game because everyone else forgot about it lol.

  • The most anticipated Ps3 game is Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance because Raiden is such a bad ass in there. Before in Mgs 2 I didnt like playing as him. But now, this game is worth it.

  • I think Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance should win as the most anticipated Ps3 game.

  • PS3 GOTY – Far Cry 3
    PS3 GOTY PSN – The Walking Dead
    PS Vita GOTY – Gravity Rush
    PS Vita GOTY PSN – Retro City Rampage
    Most Anticipated PS3 Game – Crysis 3
    Most Anticipated PSVita Game ~ Killzone Mercenary

    Im surprised that not many people are very anticipated for Killzone Mercenary but it makes sense because everybody wants a monster hunter for psvita and Soul Sacrifice looks like it could be the monster hunter every one wants

  • I’m surprised to see DJ max Technika Tune make it on here. For a niche title to be mentioned in something like this is pretty awesome. I don’t hold out much hope that it’ll win against other much better known titles, but the small nod of recognition is great.

    Anyways, definitely looking forward to the new Sly Cooper game, but I had trouble with the first list of PS3 GOTY. Mainly because most of them are multi-platform titles and, well, I played them on PC as I’m mainly a PC gamer. Based on that though, I chose Dishonored as it’s a fantastic game, and I loved every second of it.

    I think you guys did an excellent job of narrowing down the list, and the fact that you left an ‘Other’ box just in case is good.

  • Made My Vote >_<

  • Gravity Rush is not only the best vita game this year but in my opinion the game of the year damn I love it cant wait for a Gravity Rush 2 if Japan Studio makes another one.

  • Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time looks Amazing cant wait till that comes out been waiting near 8 years for another one!! Sanzaru are doing a great job, I wish the months would go quicker i cant wait to play it.

  • best vita game this year? Gravity Rush. Its the most unique I think.

  • I voted Persona 4 and Dokuro for Vita titles nominees.. still thinking for PS3

  • sly wins every thing in my heart and soul i’ve payed in full for both ps3 and ps vita versons of sly 4 and been wating for 7 years now going on 8 and believe me no other game will come first for me and i have but to me sly is all that remains in my life
