[Dragonair]

Hope you don't mind, but I uhh... Added two more categories since they're important genres. Action and Platforming.

Best Nintendo-Exclusive Game - Gamecube's had a pretty dry year to be honest...I would instantly put Resident Evil 4 here, but that's been ported to PS2 now; thus making it not exclusive. I'll say Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance; I enjoyed that game a lot.
Best Microsoft-Exclusive Game - Can't tell; haven't really bought anything for the box this year. That and I couldn't get a 360. >:0
Best Multiplatform Game (Must be for all for PS2, Xbox, and even Gamecube) - NOT SHADOW. That's all I can say.
Best Portable Game (Wireless counts, too.) - I would put MKDS here, but I'm just having too much fun with Sonic Rush to put it down.

Best RPG - I'm gonna put Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance here. That was pretty much this generation's hybrid strategy-RPG of awesomeness.
Best Fighting Game - Can't say it.
Best Racing Game - Mario Kart DS.
Best Puzzle Game - METEOS ftw
Best Strategy Game - Advance Wars: Dual STrike
Best Action Game - Resident Evil 4. Fin.
Best Platforming Game - Sonic Rush.

Game of First Quarter - Resident Evil 4
Game of Second Quarter - DRY PERIOD
Game of Third Quarter - Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Game of Last Quarter - Sonic Rush
Game System of the Year - DS
Most Disappointing Game - Yoshi: Touch and Go.
Worst Game of the Year - SHADOW. THE. HEDGEHOG. :/ HORRIBLE level design, and a just downright buggy engine. I was hoping the usual Sonic style would keep me playing the game, but that was replaced by some "OH CRAP WHAT IS MY PAST AND WHAT IS WITH THIS IMAGE IN MY HEAD AND WHY DO I WEAR GLOVES".
Game of the Year - Resident Evil 4 plz

 

[Sonozaki Maya]

This is all based on games I have personally played.

Best RPG: Digital Devil Saga 2: Avatar Tuner
Best Fighting Game: Soul Calibur III
Best Adventure: Dynasty Warriors V/Shin Sangoku Musou 4 (they're the same thing)
Best Platforming Game: Ys (VI): The Ark of Napishtim (this is a Platforming/RPG hybrid! whoopee)

Best Boss/Sub Boss of a Game: Lucifer from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
Best Enemy of a Game: Kikuri-Hime from Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (aka Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner)
Best Unlockable of a Game: Hitoshura's Pierce Skill from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (this technically is an unlockable because you only get this if you complete a set of criteria that can be missed ENTIRELY)
Best Main Character of a Game: Serph from Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga and Digital Devil Saga 2: Avatar Tuner)

That's it. I'll probably edit it later.
