Thanks to everyone who voted for their favorite games in 2006. We had an amazing reponse, both in votes and suggestions for improving our categories. We've changed up the structure of this year's awards so that each system now gets their own sub-categories. Hopefully this will make things a bit more fair, especially for the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii which only had about 5 weeks of votes compared to the 54 weeks that the other systems had.

The following are the results of more than 6.8 million votes recorded since November 2005. Make sure to vote for your favorites in 2007. These are YOUR awards! The gamers have spoken...
