= Kotaku =
Over the years, Kotaku has been refining how it selects its Game of the Year. Currently, it involves a debate which starts with the Kotaku editors determining the four most defendable candidates for the award. Editors are then given time to play all the games, and for each of the candidates, an appropriate editor is determined to make his case behind it in front of a panel who also raise questions. The results of these debates are given to the readers, who then also have the chance to make their own opinions felt. To make the final decision, the Kotaku staff members reexamine their arguments, and the winner is determined from a vote between the editors in late January.{{cite web|author=Contact Brian Crecente: Comment Facebook Twitter |url=http://kotaku.com/5735122/the-great-debate-starts-today |title=How Kotaku selects Game of the Year |publisher=Kotaku.com |date=17 January 2011 |accessdate=31 July 2012}}
