Because I Said So is the only game of the year awards you should care about...because I said so.

If you missed Part 1, be sure to check it out to see my most disappointing, favourite unplayed and favourite old game were for 2012. Part 2 is made up of some miscellaneous categories, all which I feel should be standard in every end of year game awards! Be sure to let me know yours!

WINNER - NIGHTS INTO DREAMS (PSN)

NiGHTS was my GOTY for 1996 and remains one of my favourite games of all time. I still pull out the Saturn and Xmas Special Edition every holidays for a play. With this beautiful HD remake, I no longer have to dust of the Saturn and I still get the same great game, but in full HD glory.

RUNNER UP - JET SET RADIO (VITA)

So close, yet so glitchy. Another of my favourite Sega classics. This one would have taken top spot had it not been for the constant crashing on the Vita. Luckily I love the game that much I persisted through this annoyance.

WINNER - SLEEPING DOGS (PC)

Not only do the outfits in Sleeping Dogs look awesome, some even give you added bonuses such as extra XP or melee damage. In any case, that Bruce Lee Jumpsuit alone is enough to justify the win!

RUNNER UP - FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 (PS3)

Ignoring the corny Mass Effect 3 costume, Serah and Noel's fantastic wardrobe selection come in a close second. It's just a shame these cost you real $$$.

WINNER - MCPIXEL (iOS)

The blonde, the cow or the bone? I'm not going to tell, you can figure it out for yourself. Possible spoilers in the image below.

RUNNER UP - Umm...

That's all for Part 2. Keep an eye out for Part 3 next week!

Hmm, I'd probably like the Bruce Lee outfit better if it was in pink and black...and a hot girl was wearing it. Not just because I hate yellow, but because I also like it when hot girls wear pink and black.

 @starduke Add a pom poms and you can play Lollipop Chainsaw! :P

 @mjc Hmm, I don't think pom poms would go with a hot girl in a pink and black skin tight jumpsuit.

I don't understand why people don't talk more about Slipping Dogs ..... is a brilliant game.

You should also mention  Shenmue to for the Dreamcast .... that is such a unique game and resembles Slipping Dogs, specially the 2nd one.... I know.... I been to nostalgic... I shut up know.

 @CaesarIIII Haha! Yeah, I need my coffee as well. As for Shenmue, that's a good point. I'm a big fan of the Dreamcast original and even imported the second DC game, before picking up an english version on the Xbox. Both are fantastic and I agree that Sleeping Dogs feels like its spiritual successor!

@CaesarIIII I got the Xbox version on launch day, I can't say I've seen a copy for sale in years :(

Is that fight in the market in Sleeping Dogs ... when I played that bit I thought about Shemmue ... also all the martial arts school things.. so many similarities ..

You say you can get the 2nd one for the xbox ? because my Dreamcast one is to  scratch. :(

Yes, Sleeping Dogs had awesome costumes.  The Amazing Spider-Man had some good ones as well.

 @JustPlainLucas Interesting. I wasn't aware The Amazing Spider-Man had costumes. I'll have to check it out.

 @-DarthMaul- Oh yeah, super game. I picked it up day 1 on the Saturn and that new 3D controller was something else. It still holds up so well today.
