Bit-tech.net has opened its GoTY selection process to direct input from gamers. Voting is simple and you need to sign up to vote (stops spam voters - unless you have lots of email addresses). The following is from the information section:
As usual too when we sit down to do something, we don't do it by halves. We've not just given you a list of the ten most popular or best-selling games to choose from, but we've listed all of the major releases for PC and consoles, as well as some prominent indie games. It's time to see how highly gamers value innovation.
Voting is simple and we've divided the process into two stages - the Best PC Games and the Best Console Games, which is on the next page. In order to vote you'll need to sign up to the bit-tech newsletter, but all you need to do that is an email address. If you want to vote but don't want to get the newsletter then you can easily opt-out during the registration process. We promise we'll never sell your details on or send you any spam you don't explicitly ask for.
Once you've signed up then all you have to do is select your top three games below. Voting will close at 9am GMT, 22nd December 2008 and we'll publish the results along with our typically self-indulgent commentary shortly after that. If you've got any questions then just let us know in the forums!
So get busy Siners and make sure to let ALL your friends know!
