mcc said that, for whatever reason, his account here no longer works, so he wanted to get nominations for his poll here as well through a proxy.
Since mcc didn't make the thread here, he can't update the OP. I do think he'll update this one, but the actual poll, like he said, will take the suggestions from all the threads.

Hi,
For the last few years I've been doing an open GOTY poll on a couple of forums including this one. I'm doing it again this year and the poll will be open the first week of January; you will be able to access it here. Although the poll won't be for another few weeks, though, there's one thing I need to get out of the way now: Nominations.
The GOTY polls I do are different from the polls you normally see. Usually in a poll you have a list of like five or six options, and you pick the one you like best. This is not how this poll works. In this poll, I list-- or try to list-- every goddamn game that came out in the last year, and people vote for all the games they liked, in order of preference. In previous years voters have been allowed to vote for up to twenty games. This means we get some really interesting results that normal polls wouldn't even capture, concerning games that maybe were overall less popular, but do have diehard fans. This is what this looked like last year, if you want to see.
In order for this to work, though, I need a REALLY complete list of nominations. So, I need your help: Please list for me ANY games that you think you MIGHT CONSIDER voting for in a GOTY poll. It would probably be enough to just list the games you played this year. For each game, I need to know the exact list of platforms (PS3, 360, PC) that it was released on.
Thanks!
Note: IN ORDER FOR A GAME TO BE INCLUDED ON THIS LIST, IT MUST HAVE BEEN RELEASED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICA SOMETIME DURING 2007. NO IMPORTS. REMAKES, PORTS, RERELEASES AND EXPANSIONS/MODS COUNT ONLY IF THEY HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY REMADE FROM THE ORIGINAL-- AN HD UPGRADE DOESN'T COUNT.
(Question: Should The Orange Box be listed as one game, or should the games be listed individually? I'm leaning toward the latter.)

The first game I played this year that lasted for more that 8 hours.
reading is good
Eternal Sonata (360)
Fixed.
That was last year
The Witcher
I also find it kind of odd that a game like Wario Ware: Smooth Moves can make the list but that there are no PS3 exclusives whatsoever. Splitting up the Orange Box into separate games seems like a great way to include it and makes things a little more balanced though.
Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
MotorStorm (PS3)
Warhawk (PS3)
Everyday Shooter (PS3)
I never asked for this!
This is to amass a list of games anyone might vote for in their top 20 games of the year, the games in the OP aren't a list
I can't really think of anything to add, but I don't have a 360, PS3, or decent PC. Get crackin'!
The idea is that it's the combined opinions of everyone on the forum. Everyone will be allowed to vote for their personal top 20 in the poll, and everyone can suggest games for the list here.
I guess I should have read into "current nominations list" a little bit more.
Posts like "Man, this list has a lack of *platform* on it." is not helpful.
Neither is "This is a big project that a lot of people should work on".
That wasn't a ninja edit ,you big dummy.
(I admit that my reaction was a little knee jerk. Sorry.)
Let's hug.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All (DS)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations (DS)

Also halo 3.
Picross DS
Pokemon Diamond (haven't played pearl)
Knytt Stories (PC)
Rock Band
.... Wow, I really haven't played many games this year. Jeesh.
Lets make it a manly bear hug and not be fags about it.
Now, may I get you some more heavily spiked drinks Muffin?
because I think Warhawk should get SOME consideration.
I mean, it basically made up for the disappointment that was Lair.
Odin Sphere (PS2) was pretty good. GrimGrimoire (PS2) too, I imagine, although I haven't gotten a chance to play that one myself.
Oh! And Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night (GBA). I'd totally vote for that.
Might as well throw Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii) on the list too.
I vote for separating the Orange Box into Portal, TF2 and Ep2.
Why wouldn't they? The indy game scene has become really big this year (which reminds me, I should nominate De blob, but I can't remember if it came out this year)... And besides, Warhawk did get a B&M release, so it should not have any problems in that regard.
Something tells me taking the list off the first post was a bad idea.
Overlord (PC/360)
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (PC)
Geometry Wars: Galaxies (Wii/DS)
Worms: Open Warfare 2 (DS/PSP)
Galactic Civilizations 2: Dark Avatar (PC)
Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword (PC)
Planet Puzzle League (DS)
You mess with the dolphin, you get the nose.

Carnival Games (Wii)
Lair (PS3)
Viva Pinata: Party Animals (360)
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC, PS3)
Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (DS)
Okay, TMNT is stretching things a bit but damn it was fun.
buddy, I've abandoned far bigger, far faster. One day too shall I abandon PA. Tis the natural order for the life of a nomad.
This reminds me that TMNT GBA was supposedly really good. I never played it, so I can't vote for it, but it's a likely candidate for slipping between one's fingers.
Was Sonic this year? I thought it came out during last year's launch. I honestly can't remember.
SaTSR was released in february of 2007.
If you're going to include that, wait 1 week for NiGHTS to be released. I have high hopes for that one.
I just played it on my DS so I kinda forgot that it wasn't really a DS game.
edit: It's for the PC.
