Hey everyone! It's about that time of the year again, and it's about time we sit down to really think about what games we're thankful the most for (a few days late for Americans), so I present to you the PS3 Game of the Year, People's Choice Awards thread! In this thread I'm going to list a series categories and nominees, and you get to vote for what you think is the best in each category. But the thing is, rather than just getting one choice, you can have up to 5 different choices, but you have to rank them in the order of what you think is most deserving, and be sure to rank them with #1 being on top (it makes it easier for me to count and tally so I can get the best and most accurate answer.)
As an example, you should post something like this:
Best sports game:
1 - Fifa Soccer 12
2 - MLB 11: The Show
3 - NBA 2k12
4 - Madden NFL 12
5 - Top Spin 4
If you give a full list of 5, your top choice will give 3 points, then 2, then 1, then 0.5, then 0.25
If you give a list of 4, your top choice will give 3, then 2, then 1, then 0.5
For a list of three, your values will be 3, 2, and 1.
if you only chose two, then your #1 pick will be valued at 2.5 points, followed by 1.5
but if you chose only a single winner, then your point will only be valued at 1.5
This is to ensure we get a nice even spread of fairly distributed votes, and if nothing else to ensure that those who play/enjoy the most games have the most say. Well at least that's how I see it.
For the categories at the end titled "open voting", that means you can pick ANY game(s) you want, so be creative and don't be afraid to tell us all about that little game that you've played but nobody else has! Also, this is for the PS3 system only, if it cannot be played on PS3, then it cannot be added (so no minecraft, folks :P). Also, try to not get too caught up in genres. We all realize that many games can be classified under many genres, but in the interest of unification and synchronicity, we've decided what games are in what genres to have the most balanced list.
