    Default Otto Awards 2008: Let the Voting Begin!



    VOTING IS NOW OPEN! BE SURE TO VOTE!


    The time-honored tradition at Digital Press returns for 2008 as we invite everyone to cast their nominations in various video gaming categories. We'll start the nominatin' here and do the actual voting starting January 12th. Plenty of time to nominate!

    After expanding the vote last year, the decision has been made to keep the competition a bit more fierce and combine a couple categories, notably graphics, music/sound, and online titles. Fighting games make a return this year, thanks to some great releases.

    Cut and paste this list of categories and give us your nominations. Everyone should be able to participate here - just choose categories that you know well. Only the top 10 nominated titles for each category will go into the poll for final voting.

    Hopefully apparent - your nominations should be cast for games that were actually RELEASED in 2008, not existing titles you played for the first time this year.

    Here are the categories for this year:

    Best Overall Title:
    Best Wii Title:
    Best Xbox 360 Title:
    Best PS3 Title:
    Best PS2 Title:
    Best PSP Title:
    Best DS Title:
    Best XBL/PSN/WiiWare Title:
    Best PC Title:
    Best use of graphics:
    Best use of music/sound:
    Best RPG:
    Best Action/Adventure Title:
    Best Fighting Title:
    Best Music/Rhythm Title:

    Most Innovative Title: Little Big Planet

    Biggest Flop (Individual Title): There's a whole lot of shovelware out there.

    Guitar Hero wins one and Rock Band 2 wins one also. Guitar Hero because it has way better music on the base title(no DLC required for it to have atleast 70 good songs.) Rock Band 2 because the drums are better.
