    Google and Wiki generally tell you.

    Join the club. I can't remember the last time I bought a physical PC retail game.
    It's a good question. Maybe check on www.amazon.co.uk?

    I enjoyed that to be honest. It was a cool sort of meta-game that involved trawling Amazon and the likes all year looking for new Vita releases, only to ultimately come away disappointed and end up flogging the console on eBay. Loved the surprise twist at the end where
    I bought a 3DS instead
    . Doubt anything will top that in 2016.

    Damn, I missed the Vita category. I would have put Shovel Knight as best downloadable game. One of the very best games of the year.

    Shovel Knight has enough noms to be put forward for the vote.

    Something for next year, while I think of it: is there anything to be said for another mass a separate 'art design' category alongside the graphics one? Might be a way to give underdogs a chance in the sun, since the graphics category is usually understandably dominated by big-hitters.

    Maybe it's something most players don't care about, but given we already have the likes of Cuphead, Unravel, Below, Persona 5, Firewatch, The Witness etc... promised for next year - all of which have already made a strong impression - it would be a shame if they were all doomed when competing alongside whatever expensive blockbusters assault our graphics cards :)

    It feels like there are a lot of instances where only 1 game is nominated by a poster. I can understand for something like strategy, racing etc but it's seems a bit odd for the likes of game of the year especially as this is one of the strongest years I can remember.

    I can never think of them when it comes time to post and maybe some people didn't play that many games.

    Like I spent most of year playing The Witcher 3 and some games that were out last year. Then also I played a lot of Battlefront, which I don't feel is worth nominating as its so lacking in content, but as a Star Wars fan it has me hooked.

    And then there are some games that are instantly forgettable, like Halo 5. Which I didn't nominate either and just remembered it now.

    Bloodborne is the only one that deserves to win anyway :pac:

    I would just say it's worth adding your favourites in. On the end they are only nominations. Either way I wasn't picking on you specifically, I just seemed more noticeable.

    So.. we can all agree that Witcher 3 and Rocket League will likely win everything.
