alright, now time to vote, so get out there and let your gamer voice be heard to some extent!!! i'll do mine later. ;)

 

**Important Notes**

the "Best Innovation" award is different from the "Most Innovative" award in the respect that the Best Innovation goes to a specific gameplay mechanic such as the first person platforming in Mirror's Edge. Most Innovative refers to a game that implemented the most unique and innovative gameplay changes when compared to other games within its genre such as LittleBigPlanet.

 

also, shooters fall under the Action/Adventure category.
