The year 2014 is coming to an end rapidly, and what a year for gaming it was. It brought many games along with it, good ones, bad ones, a few gems, etc.

Unfortunately, we also weren't spared from a handful of crappy games, well, more like a shovel-ful. (get it? because of shovelware? no?)

So hereby I welcome you to the official TOTY Awards, a little 'competition' that is to determine the turdiest of the turds, the shit among the shits so to speak. (in a non positive way)

This is the first in a series of 3 threads that helps us choose the winner, and today we are specifically looking for your opinion. That's right, YOU actually get to do something.

Enough talk for now, let's get to the interesting part right away, shall we. There's only one thing left to do, and that is to set up some rules:

• Every user may post 3 games that deserve the title 'TOTY' in their opinion.

• You have got time until the 20th of December, so you might want to overthink your decision a few times maybe

• 2 games do already have a fixated place within the competition, these games are Sonic Boom (Wii U) and Rambo: The Video Game, so you might not want to waste your votes on these games.

• We are looking for 13 more games that will then move on to participate in the final voting game. The 13 games which get mentioned the most often will get a place in said voting game

- We only want to see the really 'bad' games, so if you're an ingrained Nintendo fan and claim The Last of Us to be the TOTY, we won't take it into consideration, unless you make some valid points. (Ah darn it, we won't put TLOU up there anyway)

- This is all just good fun and we don't want this to turn out in a flame war so please be kind to fellow posters and don't call them out for their decisions and opininos.

- Last but not least, don't take it too seriously. This is more or less just a parody of the GOTY awards and is not to be taken to heart. So I appeal to you guys, please don't get grumpy if a game you actually like shows up.

So... now that that's over, there's only one last thing to do: A little shout-out towards Teeqoz, the fellow founder of the TOTY Awards. Thanks man, without you, this crazy event wouldn't ever have come into existance. Hope it turns out the way we've imagined before.

NOW! I officially declare the hunt for the golden turd open! Post away
