Yes it's that time of year again, we here at the VGChartz Network are proud to present our official Nintendo DS game of the year awards (ooooo). So get voting on your favourite DS games of the year as this is probably the last time we make an article for our old dual-screened freind (unless Nintendo suddently decides to abandon the 3DS and release the Nintendo DSi XL SP+2 Special Editon).

Your votes should look  a little like this...

1 - Game A

2 - Game B

3 - Game C

4 - Game D

5 - Game E

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

For genre voting please keep within our nominees but feel free to vote for whichever game you feel deserves recognition in the open voting categories.
