Could certainly do a Best of 2015, but I wanted to wait until slightly later in the month to do that.

The Witcher 3 didn't get nominated, but that's probably because no one around here liked it. Mario Maker didn't get nominated, I think because it didn't come out in time.

It might behoove us to do Game of the Year community voting separately. Maybe.

Best arcade game would be fun if there were enough nominees...

Yeah Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Halo 5 I think as well.

Problem with best 2015 game is there will be very few games several people have played. Still interesting to do.

I think I'd just be interested in anyone making a case for Halo 5 to be a GotY.

If you want to do a meaningful Game of the Year poll, make it about 2014. 2015 isn't even over. We've only had weeks or days to play some new releases. My two games of the year 2014 didn't come out until December. I didn't play them until 2015.

I contemplated putting a question mark after Halo 5 :p

I was thinking that would be more effective as well.

I like the idea of GOTY 2014.

I hate the idea of game of the year and always have. I prefer competitions which compare games of similar genres. At least then it's not comparing apples to motor oil. I'd prefer if we had like "best rpg," "best shooter," etc.

Kong How about best game not on a Nintendo console?

That's pretty broad and implies false assumptions about Nintendo superiority. It's more likely we'll do a handful of platform-based side-events (best Sega game, best PlayStation game, best arcade game, etc.).
