Hey everyone, it's that time of the year again when you all vote for your favorite games of the year.  I'm trying something new this year because counting up all the votes every year is a tiresome and awful experience, so instead I've made a poll.  Each question is answered as a ranking question, all you have to do is put your first choice first, and so on.  You need to have atleast three answers for every question so that scoring can be weighted accordingly and be careful to make sure your answer ends up in the correct order you want since it can be a bit fiddly (so says Machina).  You can skip a question if you don't feel informed enough on that specific topic.  Without further ado here are the awards in three parts because this site limits the size I can make a survey:

Part 1: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22DWLLC4NQE

Part 2: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22DWMPD5C4V

Part 3: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22DXE6ULAGC

edit: feel free to use this thread to discuss the GotY awards, but obviously all voting shall be done through the polls.

double edit: voting will be up until December 7th when I will count the votes.

'nother edit:

please make sure to visit the platform specific voting threads as well:

Pixel Junk shooter is a 3rd person shooter..?

There weren't enough Shmups to have their own category and in the most literal sense of the words it is a shooter in third person so yes.

So I can impersonate whoever I want? :D

I actually thought the exact same thing to be honest.

Try not to, I'm going to be checking the votes to make sure they all correspond with a user name and that might get confusing.

thinking on it perhaps it's more of a puzzle game, but I'm ok with it where it's at.

:p I won't do it of course.

Btw I don't think you should sticky it yet as it doesn't show on the home page when stickied.

really?  how odd...never noticed before, thank you for the information.
