Hey folks -- it's December 1, so most of the major game releases have happened and been out long enough for us to form opinions. So it's time for our new annual award I started last year, the CP Game of the Year!
First, we need to pick our nominations. It's pretty simple:
please list your top 5 games of 2017 in order from 1 to 5. Your top game will get 5 points, your second best will get 4 points, and so on. If you only have a top 3 (or even just a top 1) - don't worry about it, but maximum of 5. I'll keep track as we go along and update this post with how things are looking, and after two weeks of nominating, the top 5 games with the most points will be nominated for CP Game of the Year. Then we'll make a separate thread to vote on those 5 games only to find out our game of the year.
Just a few ground rules for your nominees:
1) The games must be released in the calendar year of 2017. Just because you got into Overwatch late and really loved it, it's still a 2016 game.
2) They can't be ports or remasters. FULL remakes (i.e. Crash Bandicoot Trilogy) DO count.
3) Unless it's a special exception, DLC doesn't count.
And that's it! I'll add my own nominees in another post soon.
