Visit www.goldenjoystick.com now and vote in as many of the 15 gamer voted categories as you like. Let us know your favourite games from the last year and you could be in with a chance of winning some top prizes from a stack of the latest gaming gear worth more than £10,000!
Organised by Future UK, the Golden Joystick Awards are voted for by gamers only – you'll find no industry suits or company bosses calling the shots or deciding your favourite games.
The games industry loves the Golden Joystick Awards, with these awards seen as the ultimate recognition of their hard work. As the granddaddy of gaming awards, the Golden Joystick Awards have been taking place since 1982, when a ZX Spectrum was the pinnacle of UK gaming, and PlayStation was just a dodgy nightclub in Romford. Last year UK gamers cast almost 750,000 votes, and with your help, the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards will smash 1,000,000.
By voting NOW, you can help to shape the shortlists, which are announced at midday on Monday, June 23rd.

| Silent Hill: Homecoming November 29, 2008 I was eagerly awaiting
the latest installment in the Silent Hill series, hoping to get back that
familiar feeling of fear that only the eerie universe of Silent Hill can
produce. A new developer means the game has taken a different path and while a
new approach is not always a good thing, it seems that "Double Helix Games" has
done a good job of making a game that can stand up to its predecessors and is worthy
of the name Silent Hill 5.

| Tom Clancy's EndWar November 28, 2008 Yet again Tom Clancy "brings war" upon us, this time in a future not so distant. The year is 2020 and World War III is fought by U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers Corps and Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade. Who will prevail?

| MotorStorm: Pacific Rift October 22, 2008 MotorStorm was one of the few exclusive PS3 games, that had a really big success at the official launch of PS3 in US and Europe. Later sold also as a bonus product for the bundle PS3 packages, MotorStorm succeeded in creating a big fan-base especially after Sony introduced downloadable content in the first version of Playstation Network. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is the sequel to this successful franchise considered by many as MotorStorm 2. Still developed by Evolution Studios and using a modified version of the first Motorstorm graphical engine, Pacific Rift is scheduled to be released on 28 October 2008 in North America, and later for the rest of the world.

| Motorm4x October 16, 2008 Developed by former guys from Illusion Softworks (known for Mafia), MOTORM4X is a mixture of 1NSANE and Screamer 4x4. Keeping in mind these were off-road racing games, MOTORM4X follows the same idea, featuring non-linear events (similar to GTA concept) and a physics engine that might excel even Baja: Edge of Control.

| PT Boats: Knights of the Sea October 3, 2008 I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.
