Hmmm, that's certainly true about the different sized player base, but I wouldn't have commercial games always totally separate from free games in all catagories either.
How about best commercial game, best free game, and then generic genre catagories such as action and stratogy and board/card/puzle. I know this isn't an ideal solution, but having free and commercial distinctions in each genre catagory would imho chop things up too much, and also be more work for you to impliment.
