Well, it is already mentioned in the Steam Autumn Sale thread but I thought it may be a good idea to separate the Sale discussion from the actual Steam Award discussion.

So, what do you think? Will it be interesting? Have you any games you will recommand and nominate? Does everyone understand the categories (I ask because there is one I have trouble with O.o)? Also, there can be obtain four badges by nominating games and some additional stuff. In total there are four tasks and every task will give you 25 XP on completion.

Feel free to write down what games you nominated in what category. It may serve as a good recommandation for other people too ^^

Anno 1402. Absolutely, but which category?
"Just 5 more minutes" fits just as fine as "Test of Time", considering
it's already a classic and on GOG.

Comment has been collapsed.

All of those were my candidates for "Just 5 More Minutes" In the end I went with Prison Architect but that's just because it's the most recent one.

Yea it would definitly fit both but for Test of Time I would have probably gone even more oldschool and picked 1602, had I not voted for Fallout 2 :D

I know those were your candidates for "Just 5 More Minutes" ... just trying to show alternatives.
Personally I think 1402 is the best one in the franchise by far, and while 1602 may be more
oldschool, it's the one "I always come back to" as they say in the category description, no matter
how many new ones they come up with (2205, 2070).

I would say Limbo is a bit to popular for this category as it seems to target the lesser known games. Then again, we can all vote for what we want ^^ Wonder if it is a pure majority poll or if Valve will make the final decisions.
