GameSpy.com has started publishing their 2008 Game of the Year Awards, and today they start off with the  PC category.  Both Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor were in the top 10! 

It’s especially exciting as Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor won for 2008 PC Strategy Game of the Year!

“Thus the genocidal Korath can quickly develop weapons of mass destruction but find diplomacy difficult while the mercantile Korx get three times as many trade technologies. From this seemingly small change springs one of the finest strategy games ever made. Put simply, if you've ever enjoyed a strategy title, you must own Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor.”

Awesome news!

I have to say that I really was impressed with Twilight.  The first expansion was ok, but Twilight of the Arnor really made each faction different in a good way.  I can only hope that GC3 follows in its footprints.

Oh, and I have to add that I'm disappointed that Spore made the list.  It was simply too flawed in its execution, and its development was unfocused.

Me too! I said similar stuff in another thread about the awards.In a way it kind dulls the rest of the top 10.

And again people reaffirm my disdain for any democratic process.

Its presence tells you something about the current state of PC games.
