2011 PSN Gamers Choice Awards Revealed

Sony announced earlier today that they will be holding the 2011 Playstation Network Gamers Choice Awards, designed to recognize the best games on PSN across four categories.  Between February 22 and March 1, Playstation Network users can cast their vote for best game in each of the four categories by downloading a free XMB theme which will correspond to that game.  At the end of the voting period one winner in each category will be selected and the award winning games will be featured at a promotional price as part of the upcoming Playstation Store Spring Fever event. The only problem with this is that the “Gamers Choice Awards” don’t give gamers much of a choice.  Sony has come up with their own list and then, based on that list, gamers get to choose what they want to win.

The 2011 Playstation Network Gamer’s Choice Awards nominees are:

• Best PS3 downloadable game:  Castle Crashers, Costume Quest, Death Spank, Pac Man Championship Edition DX, Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game
• Best PSP downloadable game:  God of War: Ghost of Sparta, Lunar Silver Star Harmony, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable, Valkyria Chronicles II
• Best Playstation Network Exclusive: Dead Nation, Hustle Kings, Joe Danger, Sam & Max Ep. 1, Soldner-X2
