Well it does seem that we have to draw a line, otherwise all the Draconis games, and most of the Vip gameszone games will be up for awards, ---- which imho doesn't make too much sense (especially with something like Esp pinball classic).
On the other hand, counting only new releases would exclude Golf and baseball, which have obviously changed a lot in 2007, also, nerely all games released in 2007 have had updates aplenty, with both bug fixes and gameplay additions, so discounting all updates seems slightly odd. Much as I like Stfc (not the least because of my current watching of next gen and impending watching of Ds9), and appreciate lack of bugs in 1.2, I would suggest this as a good cut off point for what is and isn't up for nomination. Feel free to suggest otheres though. Beware the Grue!
