Here we go again: We are proud to finally present the nominees in the various categories of the second issue of our popular award. This year we teamed up with other MMO and browser gaming sites to realize a better and more transparent organization and spread the good news to a much bigger audience.

As mentioned in previous articles this fourth award is mainly decided by our jury. With thousands of internationally featured games launched in 2008 we obviously had to slightly restrict the amount of games participating. The committee of Galaxy-News team members and independend experts has pulled out all the stops to find the best games in each category.
