So, after 8 years running, it's safe to assume that the past generation (Wii, 360, PS3) has already seen its best games - Sorry Persona 5. So why don't we vote for the best (and worst?) games, studios and publishers of the generation?

Here are the categories:

Genres (according to the VGC Database):

Pick 3 at most (1st: 3 Points, 2nd 2 Points, 3rd 1 Point)

• Best Action Game
• Best Adventure Game
• Best Platform Game
• Best Racing Game
• Best Role-playing Game
• Best Shooter
• Best Sports Game
• Best of Miscellaneous (Misc, Puzzle, Simulation, Strategy)

Special Awards:

Pick only one (1 Point)!

• Best Graphics
• Best Story/Writing
• Best Music
• Best Single Player
• Best Coop Multiplayer
• Best Competitive Multiplayer

Fun Awards:
Pick only one (1 Point)!

• Best Low Rated Game (Sku with most reviews is below 75 on Metacritic)
• Worst High Rated Game (Sku with most reviews is 90 or above on Metacritic)
• Best Game Nobody Played (< 1 million Wii+360+PS3 combined according to VGC)
• Worst Game Everybody Played (> 10 million Wii+360+PS3 combined according to VGC)

BIG Awards:
Pick only one (1 Point)!

• Best Developer (NOT Publisher!)
• Best 3rd Party Publisher
• Best 1st Party Publisher/ Best Console

THE BIG ONE:
Pick at most 10 (10 to 1 Points)!

• Best Game of the Generation

Please remember that only Wii/360/PS3 are allowed, and keep in mind that these versions are what you're voting for (specially in the graphics category).

Make sure you vote for the right genre und the games you vote in the "fun" category meet the requirements. I'll try to remark invalid votes every now and then, but they won't count unless you change them and indicate it somehow.

I'll be counting every vote in an excel and remember that only one vote per person is allowed. Don't try to cheat, I will notice it

I'll reveal the results after the voting has ended, on Dec 21st, in a separate thread!
