2018 is coming to an end and it's once again time to determine what Board 8 thinks is the best game to come out this year! Let's take a look at previous champions determined by us...

1997 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
1998 - Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
1999 - Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
2000 - Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
2001 - Super Smash Bros. Melee
2002 - Metroid Prime
2003 - Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
2004 - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
2005 - Resident Evil 4
2006 - Okami
2007 - Super Mario Galaxy
2008 - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
2009 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
2010 - Super Mario Galaxy 2
2011 - Portal 2
2012 - Xenoblade Chronicles
2013 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
2014 - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
2015 - Rocket League
2016 - Dark Souls III
2017 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

So what joins this wall from 2018? Is it Red Dead Redemption II? God of War? Smash Ultimate? Spider-Man? Or does a dark horse come out of nowhere to shock everybody? That's up for us to decide!

Nomination rules are simple: Nominate up to ten games released in 2018*
* - Must have been released in North America in 2018. Remastered/ported games do not count; no worries, I might make a separate smaller tournament for those using the poll option during the main tournament.
If you nominate less than 10 games, then your nominations will be worth less depending on how many you nominate. For example, your #1 game is worth 10 points on a top ten list. If you nominate only 5 games, then your top game is only worth 5.

A list of 2018's games will be in the next topic, but as always, feel free to nominate anything I missed, just as long as it falls under the requirements to be nominated.

It's been early access for a good while. Even though the full game's coming out next month, I'll allow this. Again, it's not the first time I've allowed early access

58 games nominated so far.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is not eligible as it falls under the remastered rule. Same reason why Crash didn't get in last year.
