As of this writing, the closest of these categories only had a miniscule 100-vote difference between the top two spots. And no, we're not going to tell you which games are at the front of the pack - that would spoil the fun!
The Golden Joystick Awards ceremony is set for November 16, 2018 in London. Running for more than 30 years, it's the largest publicly voted game awards show in existence. And you still have a few more days to be part of it all - make sure you cast your vote by midnight BST on Thursday, October 25!

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
