The lights are on
Sony is holding its second annual Gamers' Choice Awards, where players get to pick the cream of the PSN's crop. If the idea of honoring a 2011 game sounds so 2011, perhaps a discount or 10 may help you change your position.
Voting for the awards begins today and lasts a week. Simply visit the PlayStation Store and make your selection among 10 categories. Participating in nine of the 10 categories gives you a series of special Gamers' Choice XMB themes. If you vote in the Best PSN Indie, you'll get a voucher code for an exclusive XMB. Winners will be announced on March 6, and winning games will be discounted 30 percent for a week. If you're a member of PlayStation Plus, that discount expands into a cool 50-percent off.

I'll make sure to vote on this today.
Festival of blood!!
I've played a lot of these games. But they were on Xbox or PC. I haven't been using my PS3 enough. I'd like some of these though.
A lot of these are pretty weak choices. I wish they had some type of judging panel to decide these instead of going straight off of PSN reviews.
Gonna Vote! at least on the catagories where I actually have an opinion
If the Sly Collection doesn't win I'll be embarrassed to call myself a gamer.
Whoa. That's an amazing idea!
Resident Evil 4...has the most content and is highly replayable.
Blah, only like 2 good games listed.
TETRIS AND PACMAN FTW
last yrs PSN awards was fun but this yr its a tough choice. I'll make sure to vote, go infamous:festival of blood!!
Nice.
It's like the Academy Awards, only better!
Love all these games!
