Well, newcomer to the consoles section. Used to hang around PC until about the start of November when I came over to the dark side.

[KNiVES]

Popularity contest, woo! The 'add your own category' bit is just asking for a bit of brown-nosing as well to be honest - an almost homoerotic bout of back-slapping and what have you.

Best console: 360
Best game of 2008: Crysis Warhead
Best console game of 2008 (if PC doesn't count): Fallout 3

Best Poster: joint rp2000/Robert1986/ps3udo/msmalls74/Kreeee/Sid the Turtle/someone i missed out

Best Newcomer: Robert1986 **officially** by a mile.

Best Community Contributor: Robert1986 see his ***OcUK Official Game*** threads for reason why

Most Omnipresent member: hrmm dunno Kreeee or Nokkon

Best/ Favourite Thread: dunno between ps3 fifa thread or PSN official thead

Best Console: PS3 - purely because imho it has -just about- caught up with the 360 and its looking a gnats wing stronger.

Best Game of 2008: very hard to decide this (coz ive played a lot of quality games on both consoles: Gears 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Fifa 09, Deadspace MGS4..any of em could be GOTY. I'll go with FIFA09 purely because i can see myself playing this longer than the others (well until FIFA10 anywayz)

tbh - Console GOTY deserves its own thread with piccies and vids the whole works *cough*

EDIT: heres last years GOTY thread done by Abooie http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/search.php?searchid=6191504

 

[cheets64]

Best Community Contributor: andybtsn, the 360 league has consistenly been a success along side the cups, just look at the PS3 effort, without decent organisation it all falls apart.
Most Omnipresent member:Kreeeee, I see his sig all over the place.
Best/ Favourite Thread:** FIFA 2009 League ** (360) - That time again!
Favourite Bit of Banter: FIFA RAGE, when it happens it's brilliant.

Best Console (How it's perform THIS year): PS3, so much so that I actually want one now, but can't afford.
Best Game of 2008 : Tough one this. I'd have to go for Mirror's Edge purely because it's new, something different and for purely a singleplayer game very fun to play.

If you're a newcomer, I must still be in the OCuk womb.

skippi - Just so you know your sig actually says "I leg a Nerd"

It should be "Ich bin"

Lol at Mark

Best Poster: dannyjo22 - I enjoy his ramblings about COD, GH, RB and find his compliments of his unborn baby particularly funny
Best Newcomer: Robert1986, think we have a clear winner on this already
Best Community Contributer: andybtsn and a mention to Anders0n who has helped with the Fifa leagues
Most Omnipresent member: rp2000 - always contributing
Favourite Thread - Either the RB one or the ones for Fifa.

Best Console: 360, another fantastic year and I haven't had much play on a PS3 so can't really compare.
Best Game of 2008: I would probably say Fable 2 with RB an extremely close second.
