Golden Joystick Voting Ends Next Week

It's your last chance to try desperately to make your voice heard in the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards. The world's longest-running video game awards have once again broken their voting record, with nearly 800,000 votes submitted so far. I sincerely doubt they'll be able to break their target of 1 million before voting ends on the 27th of December, but by gum they're pulling out all the stops trying, offering up prizes for every 10,000th vote submitted. To make your voice briefly heard and get a chance at winning Nokia phones, games, or magazine subscriptions (yay), head over to www.goldenjoystick.com before the 27th. Then watch the show live on the website on October 31st to see what difference if any your opinion made.Last chance to vote in the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards Have you say and make a difference in this record breaking year! 20/10/08 - Gamers now have less than a week to make a difference in gaming’s most prestigious awards, the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards – together with Virgin Media.
