I got a warning for calling someone a fanboy... 

A quick search of the site for the term 'fanboy' reveal over 880 posts where the term is used...............

... Did you even read the rules?

Last year the VGChartz Game of the Year Awards were the most popular articles on the site, so this year we're once again hosting a set of Game of the Year Awards. Just as with last year we're also going to include the winners selected by you, the forum users, as well as those selected by the site staff. So simply follow the instructions below to get voting:

1) You vote simply by listing your winners (there's a sample ballot below which serves as an example) and posting them in this thread, there are other threads out there for each console, handheld and overall.
2) Voting is open straight away, but you only have until the 17th of December to get your votes in, so make sure you do vote before that deadline otherwise you'll miss out on your chance to influence the winning games. You may edit your votes up until that deadline - votes won't be counted until the threads are locked.
3) Please try and pick at least the top 2 games in each category whenever possible. Note that voting is weighted to give those listing more games a stronger voice. However, please don't vote for games you've never played. You may list up to a maximum of 5 games in each category.
4) The list of nominees below is not necessarily definitive, feel free to vote for games that haven't been listed as long as they were released in NA or Europe during 2009.
5) Please check out the sample ballot below. If you fail to follow it and your votes are not clear they will not be counted. If you're uncertain about anything just make a post in this thread or send Naznatips, Machina or Torillian a wall post/pm.

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