Best FPS Game

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Love it or loathe it, you cannot deny that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 makes all the right moves. Even though many accused the game of being too similar to the previous title, it still manages to bring exactly what gamers want to the table... including some fresh multiplayer offerings.

Best Fighting Game

Mortal Kombat
The reboot of Mortal Kombat gave the franchise – and fighting game fans – exactly what they wanted. Tons of action, great characters, awesome special moves and the right mix of simplicity and complexity that makes it challenging and fun all at the same time. Whether as a single player or part of a multiplayer matchup, fighting game fans get exactly what they want from this title.

Best Action Game

Batman: Arkham City
This game was highly anticipated, and with good reason. Building on the successes of its predecessor, Batman: Arkham City is a compelling action title that delivers on the adventure front as well. A simple fighting system still demands a strategic approach, and a variety of action oriented activities combine with a strong plot line to make this title a great action performer.

Best Sports Game

FIFA 12
The king of sports games retains its crown this year. Even though it seemed that not much more could be added to the previous version, FIFA 12 still manages to add the kinds of tweaks and improvements to the overall game to make it challenging, compelling and deeper than before. FIFA is not only top of the football pile, but top of the overall sports simulation pile too.

Best Adventure Game

Alice: Madness Returns
The sequel to Alice took a long time to come out, but when it arrived in 2011, fans and newcomers alike were thrilled by its rich reimagining of the world of Alice in Wonderland. With a good balance of action, movement challenges, puzzling and upgrading, the game offers players a strange, even disturbing, voyage through the imagination.
