As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of Let's Play's. Whether it be for games I've already played so I can relive all of the great moments, or whether it be for a game I've never even heard of that let's me know if I want to play it some day, Let's Play's are a great way to enjoy all the good of a game without the pesky gameplay that comes with it.

Let's take a look at the nominees!

Harry Potter Let's Play by Shauna
This is an excellent Let's Play. Harry Potter is a very popular series and seeing the old school GameBoy graphics is a special treat indeed. Her commentary is funny and her image captions are superb. It's really no wonder its so popular.

Let's Play the Sims 3 Final Fantasy by Psychotic

Psychotic has obviously put a great deal of work in to this, making all of those Sims. It's a video Let's Play, meaning we don't miss a second of the hilarious Sims shenanigans. Everyone loves watching the Sims because the game pulls out some ridiculous characters, and having it themed for Final Fantasy is an excellent way to tie in with the forum.

Let's Play The Elder Scrolls by Pike

This is a game I had often heard of and never knew anything about. Pike has remedied that for me! Her commentary is priceless and makes the game ten times more fun than it already is and I especially enjoy her use of images and smilies.

Let's Play The Dragon's Revival [long title] by Mister Adequate

One major think I appreciate with this Let's Play is how its presented. We have a nifty index at the front, we have separated sections, we have a very clear explanation, all of this makes it very easy to follow. He also choose a very exciting story that hooks you in and makes you want to read more.

Let's Play Chrono Trigger by shion

This is an awesome Let's Play because I wrote it. In all seriousness though, I'm not as talented of an LPer as some of these others. I mostly just type whatever I'm thinking and hope others find it amusing. The success of it was much more about the game itself as Chrono Trigger is a much loved game, with good reason.

Let's Play Ace Attorney by Proto

This type of game works really well for a Let's Play and seeing it played by a known Ace Attorney fan was a real treat. He did a great job of capturing the relevant moments and presenting everything so it was easy to follow and enjoyable.

Let's Play Super Mario Brothers by Flying Mullet

What can I say about this. It was a grand adventure that sucked you in and spit you back out and left you feeling almost like you'd only seen the intro and the ending. Marvelous work.
