Yes, I should have made that distinction, thanks for pointing that out. I am sure you are right that many more people will vote than are responding to this thread, especially once we publisize it a bit. Right now I propose we list all games released in 2007 so folks can nominate them for voting in two categories to keep things simple: 1. Commercial games including paid betas 2. free games and betas
So basically we would end up with a commercial and non commercial game of the year. There just seems to be too few game releases of different categories to have seperate votes for sports, strategy etc. Thoughts? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year > Hi Che, > Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that > are commercial.
