Well, we're doing user awards....again.....but with the year almost out, we should look back on Video Games fondly. I'd like to crown NSFCD's GoTY, among other titles. The News Crew and Staff will be in charge, and on January 1st-ish we'll announce the winners totally. And have fancy articles on them.
However, we need more categories then what I have. Phase 1 will be nominating categories, and it'll last a few days. Phase 2 will be nominating games, which can be done with Phase 1, if you like. Phase three will be voting. Phase 4 will be revelation. This is the NSFCD News Crews first real task, so please support it.

You'll get a pm on it, but I'll elaborate now quickly.
We'll be taking the votes, and revealing the winners in chunks, doing an article on the game that won, or a blurb, whatever. So, say Sonic Unleashed wins GotY (lol)...then we'll have an article highlighting it, with comments from Nayr yelling and screaming.
