How voting works
Our editorial team picks around five finalists in each player-voted category. Our judges decide the other categories. You can see every category's finalists in one list.
Pick one game per category, or skip any you don't have an opinion on. You only need one pick to send a ballot.
It's one ballot per person. You can come back and change your picks until voting closes, and your latest ballot is the one that counts.
Finalists appear in a random order that's different for each visitor, so no game gets a head start from being listed first. The exception is a game you followed a link to, which comes first in its category.
Ballots are reviewed before winners are announced, and ones that look automated or duplicated may not count. We announce the winners on December 8.
