It's official, we are doing our very first GOTY awards for Linux games. Nominations are currently open and will be for a few days before voting begins, so be sure to add every game you think deserves it.
This is our first attempt, so it may not be perfect, but it has seen some testing and worked fine for our tests. We may look to separate it by categories next year, but we do not have time to code that in this year, so to prevent delays it's a single-vote deal this year.
Voting will open on the night of the 31st of December, and the winner will be announced on the 14th of January 2015. So, you have just over a week for nominations and around 2 weeks for voting, simple enough right!
We manually approve all nominations to prevent spammy entries and duplicates, so don't fret if it takes a while to show up.
Games do not need to have released this year to enter, so if you still love a game from a while ago that's fine too.
To reduce our admin time: Please Note: This is for Native Linux games only. No Windows games, but wrapped games that support Linux (The Witcher 2, GOG Games) are fine.
Click here to enter the GOTY section. Be sure to help get the word out too!
Please reply here with any bugs, but there shouldn't really be any as it's quite simple. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: liamdaweAdjusted it to be in 3 columns, and upped the count. Should make finding a game easier.
It looks like the paging mechanism doesn't know this yet? Most items on page 2 are already shown on page 1...

I have a suggestion. As it is a GOTY but whe can vote for previous years games... why not make two categories ? If it's not too mcuh work for you of course. Fisrt category would be "Linux Game of the Year 2014"
and the other could be "Linux Best Game to the date" or "Linux Best Game of the last 5 years"; something like that.

Shouldn't there be a unique "Metro Redux" instead of both Metro 2033 Redux AND Metro Last Light Redux? Making a choice between either of them would divide the rating by 2... whereas it's meant to be the same package and the same release...

You should be able to vote for what you prefer.
