PSU: Reader's Choice Awards

The end of the year is almost upon us, and that can only mean one thing for the gaming industry (well, outside of increased sales that is) – Gaming Awards. However, in a first for PlayStation Universe, rather than putting out our own list of favorites from this past year, we’d like to know what our readers think of 2008's stellar offering.

This will hopefully be the first PSU Reader’s Choice Awards of many to come. We’ve selected the top four to five titles from each category and we’re looking for you guys to help us narrow it down to the top two. Just respond in the comment section below with your winner from each category along with a runner-up and we’ll tally it up.

In addition, to show our appreciation for taking part in this competition (along with keeping in touch with the festive spirit), PSU will also be running a couple of giveaways that some of you may be interested in. Up for grabs are TWO SOCOM: Confrontation bundles (headset included), a Prince of Persia limited edition poster signed by its creators, a Vault Dwellers Survival Guide and a USD 20 PlayStation Network card.

Furthermore, this contest is open to EVERYONE, WORLD WIDE. Yep, even if you happen to reside in a small town in some obscure country we can’t even find on the map, you’re still eligible! In order for your entry to count, you must respond in FULL with your winners from each section. Those caught making multiple entries to increase your chances of winning WILL be disqualified.

Game on readers and let’s get this award process started.

    Yeah, all well and good but I'm still packing a Warhawk badge from last year and not going to change any time soon.  Not that I don't like this years game selection but none of these titles give me the same buzz as narrowly avoiding a grenade and slipping a machete between the third and fourth ribs of a Chernovan wearing a gimp mask ... I could take or leave the sneakiness of MGS4 even miss out on the game2.0 of LBP but I'll never lay down my rifle unless you kill me for it.

     

    Other than that ... LBP and MGS4 are both amazing, just not as amazing as cluster-bombing flag campers.
