Goodbye, 2015. When it comes to games, you've been lovely, and as usual we're closing the year by bestowing honors on the best of the best. So we voted, and then debated over three continents, and then revised the list and debated a bit more, and came to a selection of 10 games we think are a little more special than the rest. Note that no game can win multiple awards—our process is to each cast votes for multiple games, tally them up, agree on an overall winner, and then tailor the rest of our award categories to best represent why we love the games we chose. The staff also chose 12 more games as 'personal picks,' and while we couldn't reach a consensus on their GOTYness, they were all important enough to one or more of us that we wanted to give them special honors.
Below are our 2015 award categories (plus one more special award that we won't spoil), which we've chosen to best represent the makeup of games we loved this year. We'll be posting new awards and personal picks daily as the end of the year approaches, updating this page as we go. We're an impatient bunch, so rather than saving the best for last, we've started with our overall game of the year, which goes to...

Personal Picks
