1 - Collectors edition of the year = Sonic generations CE - Also my favourite CE - had it all and quite limited too (UK version)

2 - Most Likely to appreciate in value = Uncharted 3 Explorer - again like others, this franchise has a huge base and this edition was very limited and of better quality than dead island treasure

3 - Best CE for a new franchise = Dead Island Treasure - The limited quantity of this edition makes it the best for a new franchise. Having said that, there weren't many new franchises this year anyway

4 - Best Box Art = Infamous 2 Hero (PAL version) - I really liked the two different coloured versions of cole and the reflective design - the US version was average tbh but the PAL version looked cool

5 - Best Bonus Item = Yakuza 4 Ichiban Box - With steelbooks becoming the norm for preordrs it was nice to see something different

6 - Best Unboxing Experience = Sonic Generations CE - Even though i knew what was in the CE, to see all the different parts and especially the unique lenticular cover was pretty nice

7 - Most Unique Package Design = Assassin Creed Revelations Animus - While not the best, definitely the most unique for me - it was intentionally bent - unique but weird

8 - Most Unique Bonus item = Yakuza 4 Ichiban Box - As before, very unique and very valuable now too

9 - Best CE Guide = Zelda Skyward Sword - I loved the colour

10 - Best CE system = Zelda: 25th anniversary 3DS - My biasness is showing here but i liked this because of the outer box design (PAL) as well as the console

P.S Mosavon - while i also liked the XIII-2 console - technically isnt that 2012?
