DrIstvaan: I *think* votes aren't pouring in because this thread has been buried for three days or so... I say you should add those categories, and, if no usable amount of votes get given to them, then you at most don't declare winners.

Navagon: Yeah, it has been a bit dead. But I can only do so much to keep it alive without falling foul of the no bumping threads rule.

How about declaring things like "At this rate, you have two more weeks to vote" and "Do what you can to put your favourite games in the Hall of Fame by voting!" every day? :-) Officially, that's not bumping, as it contains (new) information or has its own function.

Yeah, I'll have to keep finding ways of keeping it afloat. So long as the votes keep coming in.
Hmph. It seems this thread is not that popular... I wonder why that is, when it is a good initiative. Oh, well.

Too many categories. Next time, limit it so say 4 (Script - Innovation - Graphics - 3 Best Overall in order). I did not answer the first time I saw the thread because it was too massive.

You can always answer only those categories you see fit; you can even name only one or two nominees and leave all the other categories blank.
Anyway, thanks for you input (both for your nominations and for answering my question).

Very, very though question.
Psychonauts looks amazingly original,
Beyond Good and Evil looks lovely, finally a world I'd really like to save,
Sacrifice is so weird it's mesmerizing,
and the pixel art in Ishar makes the game both cozy and exotic.

1. Best Script-Fallout (If for nothing else than the astounding ending. Although dialogue when playing a stupid character always makes me laugh.)
2. Best Gameplay-Fallout (Turn based combat at its finest.)
5. Best Graphics (Creative)-Psychonauts (Such a oddly unique design to everything in the world.)
