When she’s not working, you can probably find her watching horror movies or playing an Assassin’s Creed game and getting distracted by Photo Mode. 

It's time for you to decide which game deserves the much coveted Game Of The Year award in the 33rd Golden Joystick Awards. Vote here to choose between 13 worthy contenders. Just like the Hunger Games, there can only be one winner but don't worry, you don't have to kill the others.

I'm not here to sway your vote but is Batman Arkham Knight your hero of the year or does the grim darkness of Bloodborne's Yharnam win out over Gotham's goon packed streets? The correct answer is of course he is and nothing can beat Gotham. However, maybe you've been hooked on Life Is Strange just like GR or are suffering from a serious Light addiction in Destiny. Maybe they're better than Batman (they're not). Oh and there's also this Metal Gear thing, you might just have heard of it.

If you've forgotten what any of the games of the year look like, take a flick through the gallery above and get voting right here alongside 20 equally important categories.
