Neowin Community Game Awards Nominations


Recommended Posts

Nomination Phase

If a game is already listed, you DO NOT need to nominate it again.

This phase is to nominate games that you want to appear on the voting phase of the Community Game Awards. At the time of the voting phase, you will be able to decide who the winners of each category are.

As promised last year, the Neowin Community Game Awards are making their return and we are now ready to start the nomination phase of things. This process will last for one week and crucial to the success of the awards. I ask that any member wishing to participate do the following:

  • Objectively consider all games played this year and weigh their merits and weaknesses fairly.
  • Post your nominations in an easy to read manner, clearly indicating category for nomination and the platform the game was played on.

Below is a list of categories I need people to nominate games for. There will need to be at least 5 games for a category to make it into the final voting process. Please only post your game nominations (specify platform also) and specify which category you would like to see it in. Any off topic chit chat should remain out of this thread so as to avoid any confusion.

There seems to be a bit of confusion over what constitutes an action game. To sum it up, you are usually in 3rd person view mode and there's a lot of action (duh). Spiderman 2: The Game and The Hulk are prime examples of this.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
    • Hello, Hope all is well. I am in UK.  
    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
