Now that we've gotten almost to the end of selecting our Game of the Year Awards Nominations -- February 7th is the last day to get your nominees in http://n4g.com/user/blogpos... -- I felt it would be good enough time to post the usual February contest details.
Please note, there will be another contest next week for voting on the actual Game of the Year Awards winners, but that is not listed here.
THE GREAT ZOLTAR!
Now that we have our nominations, can you guess the outcome? Well, how about if I put a $300 Amazon Gift Card on the line, do you think you could do it then? Because that's exactly what I'm doing. Post below your votes for who will win in each of the categories from the following blog: http://n4g.com/user/blogpos... . The person who gets the most correct will win. If there's a tie, then it will be determined by a lottery of those who got the most correct.
So, consult your local oracle and may the best psychic win!
***This specific contest will end on the same day as the N4G GotY poll ends! Make sure you get them in ASAP. Entries made after that will not be allowed.
***UPDATE: The poll will not be going up until next week, so you have an extra week to get your predictions in!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
