VGC is currently holding voting among its contributor staff for our GoTY selections in several categories.   Now we would like to find out what is YOUR GoTY.  So if you have a few minutes to give your opinion please cast your votes and take note that scoring is weighted based on the number of games you list for the category to give those who have played more games in that category more importance.  Please don't add games if you've never played them at all.

Voting is now open. Voting will be open until December 20th.

When voting: Please pick at least top 2 choices for each category whenever possible. Preferably top 3 if you can come up with that many. You may list up to the top 5 in each category.

NOTE: The games listed are not the only options, feel free to add games we forgot so long as they were released in NA during 2008.

Thank you for participating in the VGC Game of the Year. Happy voting!

THIS IS HOW YOUR VOTES WILL BE COUNTED

If you vote for 5 games, your votes are worth 3, 2, 1, .5, and .25 points .
If you vote for 4 games, your votes are worth 3, 2, 1, .25 points.

I would love to vote but I played my last PC game (Civilization IV) two years ago - and actually I didn't play it on a PC, but on my newly purchased Mac - so all I can contribute to this struggling thread is a free bump.

Where are shio, vlad321, ssj12, Parokki, Mummelmann, FJ-Warez, Ickalanda and all the other PC fans?

Vote, proud PC gamers!
