Welcome to our second year of doing a GOTY Awards, this year we added many more categories based on feedback.

Right now it's only open for nominations, so you can add as many as you wish. On January 1st it will open for voting.

Based on feedback from last year, we won't allow anyone to see the current results as they come in, so we don't have a bias going on for the top games.

We should also have some pretty graphs ready for the results too, something I have worked on in the background for a little while.

Head over to the GOTY page and get nominating.

I welcome all feedback and bug reports in the comments. I'm hoping I ironed out all the bugs. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: TheBossWe decided against having anything to put a downer on anyone/developer. Too much hostility around already, no need in an award system.

I respect that! Truthfully, I was kidding, I didn't expect any negative categories.

Maybe it makes sense to divide between best soundtrack and best enviroment sound ?

Quoting: TheBossIf it requires any form of payment to get into it, no it's not a free game.

Yeah, sounds reasonable.

Edit: We haven't got an article about Mel yet?!? I need to write one!

Samsai covered the release, but more articles are (almost) always welcome. :)

I vote Final Fantasy 6 & 8 there ya go jk.

BioShock Infinite seems pretty interesting so far, it's my first game of the franchise and I'm a couple hours in.

This is how I rate a game:
Good Story + Bad Graphics = Good Game
Good Story + Good Graphics = Good Game
Bad Story + Good Graphics = Bad Game
Bad Story + Bad Graphics = Bad Game

Gratuitous Blood = Developer Lazy implementing Particle & SFX
Gratuitous Violence = Developer Lazy writing a drawing story

That's what these nominations are for.

How can you nominate a game for a category? If I try to add, there is a system message that this game already exists or something like that, but it is not in the respective category.

Probably as it hasn't yet been accepted.
