Personally, while I fully agree there are far too few games for "best sport" "Best stratogy" etc, I do think we should make a vague nod in the direction of gameplay.
even in the matter of free games, there are some which it does not seem fair to compare against each other because the purpose they have been designed for is totally different. take for example sound Rts and boppit ultimate. Both are free, both have online play capability, but their play styles are so wildly different as to be almost incomparable. there will be lots of people (I know a couple), who would only be interested in playing one or the other, and so would only vote for one of them. If the catagories are too wide, I feel all we'll end up with is a bunch of people voting for their particular favourite game or game type and not considdering all the options. I do however take the point about keeping the number of catagories small so as to minimize complications. I'd therefore suggest: "Best quick play game", "Best extended play game" "Best puzle/board/card game" (there seem to have been so many of these that they would imho need their own catagory), and "Best competative game" (online competition, score posting etc). Well that's my suggestion for catagories, what do people think? Beware the Grue!
