Copy and pasted for another staffer who doesn't have enough posts to make a thread because he's a terrible person.
The Nintendo 3DS has completed its first year on the market, and now it's time to hand out its first Game of the Year awards! You've experienced the thrill and wonder of glasses-free 3D, now you can vote for its best games in glasses-free 2D right here in this thread!
Your votes should be in this format:
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.
If you chose only a single winner, then your point will only be valued at 1.5.
