Gears of War battles the indies for Best Xbox Game at The Golden Joystick Awards

It's time to vote for this year's Golden Joystick Awards, and over in the Best Xbox Game category, it's a more varied year than most. AAA behemoths like Gears of War and Sunset Overdrive are furiously rubbing shoulders with some of the the year's most enchanting indies, from the thumb-scrambling Kalimba to Twitter-obsessed pseudo-sport, #IDARB.

Me? I'm going for something wedged right in between the two sides. Ori and the Blind Forest is an indie platformer made on Microsoft's money, leading to something that looks like a (Hayao) Miyazaki film but often plays like a (Hidetaka) Miyazaki game. It's a brutal, beautiful thing, that could get by being neither and still make it onto this list for the frankly magical Bash skill.

But I'm just one vote among many. Have your say by voting in this category and 20 others - and claim a PC copy of Bioshock Infinite while you're at it.
