Because I mainly play old games it's always difficult to vote like this. Mostly I go for the games I actually have played... not really a good way of doing it, but I think few people have played enough of them to make a truly informed decision.

Is 9 people voting enough for the user's choices for goty (and not even in all catagories)?

Hopefully... though it's quite sad how few people actually use their PC to play games on :(

Last year we had 8...and I voted but can't vote anymore here, so I guess it will do. Sad, but that's PC gaming in VGC

I will not vote until the nominees list is fixed.

Why is Red Faction: Guerrilla, a freaking FPS, in the 'Adventure Game' section?

Why is Batman:AA in the 'Adventure Game' section when it's clearly an Action-adventure game(and much closer to the action part than the adventure part)?

Why is Machinarium NOT nominated for Best Adventure Game?

My suggestion is make a 'Best Action-Adventure Game' section and but Batman in there and some other fillers, and put Red Faction in the 'Best Shooter'. Or just move Batman to 'Best Action game' since it's close to that.

That's a bizarre list. To add to Shio's comments- no WoW in the MMO category? Fallout 3, Crazy Machines 2, Mount & Blade and Sacred 2 were all released in 2008. The Watchmen game has no right being near any GOTY list given it has a Metacritic score of 44 and Blueberry Garden isn't an adventure.
