You can probably make a poll on a third party poll website to circumvent the 12 options restriction. And just link to it then.

I'm also not sure if we should use all versions from a series? As in Age of Empires 1, 2, 3 but i.e. only WC 3.
Would anyone really say Q1 was better than Q2/Q3? I dont know.

Best Shooter:
Unreal
Unreal Tournament

Best RPG:
Might & Magic 3
Neverwinter Nights (1? 2?)
Final Fantasy 6
Betrayal at Krondor (none of you will vote this piece of awesomeness

)
shitton of other games you kids dont know about and therefore never vote!

Best Adventure:
Monkey Island (1 & 2)
Indiana Jones 4
Maniac Mansion
Day of the Tentacle (MM 2)
King's Quest (havent played all so cannot say which one was the best, for me 5)
Quest for Glory 5

Best Stealther (?)
Deus Ex (I'd put it there... dont know)
Thief 2
Metal Gear Solid (I dont know which one^^)
Splinter Cell (again no idea which one)
Hitman (maybe?)

Best RTS:
Dawn of War
Company of Heroes

Best turn based strategy:
King's Bounty
Heroes of Might & Magic
Jagged Alliance 2
UFO: Enemy Unknown
Alpha Centauri
Civilization

Best Indie:
Minecraft
Terraria

Best MMO:
Ultima Online
Everquest

I actually liked the "Best Freetime" sort of category from the TIMES list:
Angry Birds
Solitaire
Minesweeper
Microsoft Pinball

Best fighting game:
SSBM
SSBB (lol!)
Street Fighter

Definitely need to specify instead of list series. It would be a travesty if all Mario games got lumped into one category, because some of the Mario games stand above most other games in the series. (Super Mario bros. III for example)

This might be a crazy idea but why not do the poll by series first and then take the winning series and then have a seperate vote on the best in the series to find the best game?

This would allow people who didn't vote for that particular series as their favourite to have their say about which particular one is best, I think the results would be more inclusive and credible as a result.
