Make a difference by voting in the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards
19/05/08 - Voting is now open for the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards and your vote really can make a difference in helping crown the UK's favourite games.
Visit www.goldenjoystick.com now and vote in as many of the 15 gamer voted categories as you like. Let us know your favourite games from the last year and you could be in with a chance of winning some top prizes from a stack of the latest gaming gear worth more than £10,000!
Organised by Future UK, the Golden Joystick Awards are voted for by gamers only - you'll find no industry suits or company bosses calling the shots or deciding your favourite games.
The games industry loves the Golden Joystick Awards, with these awards seen as the ultimate recognition of their hard work. As the granddaddy of gaming awards, the Golden Joystick Awards have been taking place since 1982, when a ZX Spectrum was the pinnacle of UK gaming, and PlayStation was just a dodgy nightclub in Romford. Last year UK gamers cast almost 750,000 votes, and with your help, the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards will smash 1,000,000.
By voting NOW, you can help to shape the shortlists, which are announced at midday on Monday, June 23rd.
