I would consider tomb raider for best pc game, at least as a candidate. Those of you that played it on pc would probably understand better than if you played it on console because it was one of the best looking games out there

SidesNotes:
* I'd like to make an argument for Clash of Clans for Mobile/Tablet/Portable GOTY
** Maybe we should consolidate Xbox 360 & Xbox One nomination categories, along with PS3 & PS4 nomination categories. Seeing there aren't an incredible amount of releases for either of the new gen systems. We've got a ton of awards this year already....
*** Ouran, Taylor, whomever. I need a short explanation of what JRPG, MMO, WRPG, Platformer is. I put a short explanation of each award, so those who are new to the awards or don't know what each category are will understand.

This does not include the Gaming Board Members Awards. Those will be voted upon the day of the official voting thread (spontaneous)

Dota 2

One of the best reviewed PC titles of the year and it's immensely popular.

But it came out several years ago....

I'm ok with this.

Can I just give a short definition and some examples or do you want something long?

It's not a bad pick either. I included XCOM over it because I thought Strategy games should be represented in my PC picks.

I'll have to look at the nominations closer (Reveangance or however it's spelled needs to leave), but I like the format. Will definitely make it easier to tally.

I never played it but heard mixed things. Never checked how well it reviewed overall. I'd like to play it eventually, since I do like the universe.

Would AC4 be a better fit there? There might be a better game for that category but that's a thought.

Why do you believe that? It's one of the best action games of the year and was a pretty big surprise considering everyone thought it was going to suck. Those are the only two nominations or mentions it received.
