Golden Joystick Awards - Make your vote count

It's that time already - the Golden Joysticks Awards have opened for the first stage of voting, and it's your chance to have your say on the year's releases. Which is great, of course. But even better is that this year you can win a share of a prize hoard worth over £10,000 simply for hitting upthe Golden Joysticks websiteand choosing your favourite games.

Don't agree that Gears of War should have scooped last year's ultimate accolade? There's only one way to prevent further miscarriages of justice - your votes are the only ones that count with the Golden Joysticks Awards. So don't miss this opportunity to stick your oar in, cast your opinion liberally around and get your half-tuppence worth. And so on. The categories this year are...
