Well, it is about that time of year again. Since there aren’t any real big releases between now and January 1st, I’m going to go ahead and throw this up in here. As you can see from the image above, we’re going to have three main sets of awards. Next year begins the ’10s, so we’re going to have awards for the best and most important games of the last decade (from 2000-2009). We will also be doing nominations for Game of the Year (which will be specific to PS3).

As far as Most Important and Best games of the decades, these can be any platform. As for the most important nominations, these don’t necessarily have to be the best games, but rather, a game that either opened the doors to gameplay ideas or defined a genre and laid the groundwork for games to come. You can choose a game for every category listed. Nominations with the most votes will win the category. (If there’s any categories I missed, please shout it out in the comments section)

We’ll start off with Game of the Year nominations:
