It is coming close to the end of 2008, so it's about time we decide on some games of the year, if only so there's less spam
This will be happening in two stages, right now this is stage one, nominations. Below you will find a list of categories that you can nominate a game to. Now for most of the categories the game will have to have been released this year, though we will be adding a couple of non-year related nominations that will be pointed out by being in red.

Nominations can be done by anyone here, not just clan members, the community will decide these. This is why its in ITCHY not games Also, nominate for what you want, what you don't want, then don't vote.

Now, to the categories:

1. Best FPS of the year
2. Best adventure game of the year
3. Best RTS of the year
4. Best Racing game of the year
5. Best sport game of the year
6. Best casual/party game
7. Best RPG of the year
8. Best MMO of the year
9. Best alternative game (stuff that dont fit into the other categories above)
10. Best 360 game of the year
11. Best Wii game of the year
12. Best PS3 game of the year
13. Best PC game of the year
14. Biggest overhyped POS of the year
15. Best gaming innovation of the year (stuff that isnt the game itself, but stuff behind it that makes our gaming better)
16. Biggest flop of the year (in your opinion)
17. Worst 360 game of the year
18. Worst Wii game of the year
19. Worst PS3 game of the year
20. Worst PC game of the year
21. GAME OF THE YEAR
22. Best "communal game" played by everyone this year (what game does everyone play together)
23. Deal of the century
24. Best game of all time, ever
25. Cash cow of the year

Edit: Added a new category

do we post here or send a pm to you.

You missed that tad of information out i believe

Post, its just nominations as of yet

Magic will happen for the final voting

Best deal of the year I'd go for the original Half-Life at 77 pence, even if it was only for a few days.

The best communal game has to be Team Fortress 2, or possibly CounterStrike: Source.

i think all the games have to have been released this year metty

GAME OF THE YEAR: Left 4 Dead
Best "communal game" played by everyone this year: Team Fortress 2
Deal of the century: The Orange Box
Best game of all time, ever: Toy Story 2 (you know you love it) or maybe Bioshock.
Cash cow of the year: WTF IS A CASH COW?!?!?! Sims 2 it is then (but wait till next year and Spore will be the same...)

For example you buy the sims 2, its a pretty good game ans lots of people enjoy it. Then EA think oh we can let sims go to uni. That'll be 20 pounds please. Then they let them drive cars and more in nightlife, then open for business then seasons then bon voyage then freetime

thats about 150 pounds there. Want MOAR?

Stuff packs about 10 pounds each include:- h&M stuff, bathroom and kitchen, mansion and garden, family fun, tenn stuff etc

over 200 pounds i'd say on one game, and it isn;t even a monthly subscription one either thats alot nearly enough for a PS3 i believe? (279 pounds for PS3 i thought i heard somewhere)

1. Best FPS of the year - Team Fortress 2
7. Best RPG of the year - Oblivion (still plenty of mods to keep this game alive)
8. Best MMO of the year - EverQuest 2 Rise of Kunark
9. Best alternative game (stuff that dont fit into the other categories above) - Audiosurf
14. Biggest overhyped POS of the year - Haze
15. Best gaming innovation of the year (stuff that isnt the game itself, but stuff behind it that makes our gaming better)
16. Biggest flop of the year (in your opinion) - Crysis on Steam
22. Best "communal game" played by everyone this year (what game does everyone play together) - Team Fortress 2
23. Deal of the century - EverQuest 2 Rise of Kunark ... the full game with all the expansion packs and all of the booster packs for £15, includes one month of play

Erm, I'll do mine later, but I hink people need reminding that the ones not in red are for this year's releases only, AFAIK. That means it excludes the OB and various other things that have been mentioned.

skillers loves saying what i say

Other than the fact the ones you said were ones in red, that didn't matter
