As 2006 winds down, the gaming press begins to look back on the year that was, and tries to determine which games stood out as the best of their class.  GameSpy is one of the first of the major media sites to put up their annual Gamers' Choice polls, where any gamer can go and vote for their favorite games of the year across 16 categories (7 of which are reserved for PC Genres).  Our game, Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords has been nominated in two events:

  • PC Strategy (Non-RTS)

  • PC Overall

That's right, we're a contender for the Gamers' Choice PC Game of the Year!

Galactic Civilizations II received a 4.5 star rating and the Editor's Choice award from GameSpy, and has an 87% overall rating on GameRankings.com based on review scores from 49 media outlets, making it one of the best rated PC games of 2006.  In the Non-RTS Strategy category we're up against games like DEFCON, Heroes of Might & Magic V and Caesar IV.  All very solid titles, but we're confident that the fine, intelligent folks here at GalCiv2.com know which one truly deserves to be crowned king!

Voting is open until December 18th, so get moving and vote!  Be sure to tell anyone you know that enjoyed Galactic Civilizations II this year, to head over to GameSpy and vote too!

A note on voting: 

You must have a GameSpy account and be logged in for your vote to count.  This is to discourage ballot stuffing by individual users.

Interesting. I can't see GC2 winning the best PC game award, there's too many games with very large fanbases and much more hype.

But I'd be suprised if it doesn't win in the strategy (non-rts) category.

Make a new one on gmail, hotmail, or one of the other free providers to use on sites like game spy. That way, you don't need to worry about annoying spam.

Gal Civ 11 deserves both of those awards. Also, ign accounts work too.

ign accounts work too


Yeah, but IGN is far worse than Gamespy. You actually need to be a member to use the quote function on their forums.....

Reply #11 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
There is regular membership which still can't use quote. You have to pay for that..lol. Anyways I was just saying if you have a ign account you wont need the gamespy.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were saying that he should sign up for an IGN membership instead.

Medieval 2 disappointed me to no end. All the others were mediocre. The ONLY games I play right now are GalCiv2 and Company of Heroes, so both of them got my vote.

On the overall PC game of the year, it was a hard call, but eventually I chose GalCiv 2. Sure, CoH rocks and all, but GalCiv 2 deserves much more credit, IMO.

What he means is let us go forth and represent.

It's pity that you have to choose only one. I love GC2 but I wouldn't vote for it over Warhammer, Civilization IV or Raise of the Legends .
Equal - yes, better - no.
Also I have enough spam to register there...

Well, from the games listed up there GC2 is already the winner from my point of view, especially in the non-rts vote. CIV4 Warlords, I don't know but since it is only an expansion, I voted for GC2. On the overall, thats tough I mean there is FSX up there for one thing. In the end, I still picked GC2 because I feel its more original then the others up there.

You can bet your Altarian butt that I voted Galciv2 best strategy and best overall game for 2006.

I've played a lot of games this year, but I can't think of another game that has kept me awake until 3am more times than Galciv2.
