I want a say in final votes, as i am 100% impartial (i own a 360, it breaks once a while, i love the PS3, and i have bittersweet memories of the PC gaming scene.

The only thing Miggle and I will be choosing will be the categories being used...and they'll be pretty general.

Just because two people are the complete opposites means that two opposite genres will be covered well. Meanwhile, you could completely fail and miss out several key games in the other genres that neither of you care about...

Which is why we are letting EVERYONE suggest the categories THEY like, and then compile a list of the most popular. I didn't want to make a set list of categories because I didn't feel that'd be right...yet you're still bitching.

I didn't think it'd be that hard to understand. I've been proven wrong, apparentely.

Sigh, way to flip out on me. Not hard to understand? I don't think you understand what I'm talking about. Yes, I know you're asking for categories that people like. The thing is, you two may not know much about these categories and miss out on a lot of key games. That's why I'm saying it's going to end up biased. Because of the fact that you won't include something that deserves to be there simply because the choices came from two people...

You can think whatever you like. This is the way it's being run. If you don't like it, don't vote or participate. I'm sorry if you feel it's going to be so "biased", and have some sort of odd paranoia that we won't include a category just because we don't like or know about these certain categories.

I don't enjoy JRPGs, but if a bunch of people are asking for it to be included, we'll include it. Take off the tinfoil hat. There's no conspiracy going on.

I also think you still don't understand that this is just CATEGORY SUGGESTIONS. People will be nominating games for the categories chosen over the weekend. I'm a huge FO3 fan but in the slim, slim case that I'm the only one who nominated FO3 as compared to several votes for say, Mirror's Edge, MGS4, GTA IV, Gears 2 and LBP, it won't be included. Miggle and I are not going to be picking the games that will be doing so placed in the categories. Everyone here will through their nominations.

Also why am I not on the board that decides? You really need more than two people in case there is a disagreement so you can have a voet on it.

I would want to see some more categories like the ones the Flaming_Maniac suggested. I think they are more "bf2s-ing" in description and style.
The above ones are so average and exchangable.

Ok i'll post my little rant (sorry) here instead. The PC exclusive part needs fixing. There are so few PC exclusive games that its almost not worth having the section. Games that are PC games like RA3 and L4D aren't counted as exclusives. So what do I do?

You guys need should've said this BEFORE I made the thread, lol..

Should I make it "best PC game" instead of exclusive? That way, any game on PC would apply as well.
