3 Comments

For the first time in its 27 year history, voting for our awesome Golden Joystick Awards has reached the massive 1 million milestone.

"To reach the total of one million votes cast just goes to show how popular and mainstream video gaming has become with the Great British public," said Joysticks boss Emma Parkinson.

"Once seen as the preserve of teenagers' bedrooms across the nation, interactive entertainment and video games today form the cornerstone of British family social life, with consoles and PCs at the heart of almost every household in Britain and handheld games and mobile phones in the pockets of millions. Gaming really is everywhere, and as this hobby becomes more and more important we're pleased to have been able to give so many gamers the chance to vote for their favourite releases."

Make sure you cast you vote over on the official Golden Joystick website.
