Wario and Waluigi: Civil Partners In Crime

You filthmonger. You monger filth, you do.

An absolute avalanche of tagline memories, with the thirty-three votes shared by twenty-six taglines. Most people opted to let the taglines they voted for speak for themselves, which is a very fine way of doing things. Anyway, Purposeful Balla and Inadvertant Balla (if I remember correctly!) win the day. Also, shout out to the forumite who only chose taglines that signalled forum events, like 'Belated Fourth GNamer Podcast Announcement!'. Lastly, delighted to see Film February and GNovel GNovember get some love too.

=Halo 5 (six points, two firsts)



"This vote is a bit of a weird Xbox versus Playstation thing really, isn't it? Most people's big games were multiformat this year I reckon. Still, I do love the Chief's shootybangs and this one had lovely graphics, multiplayer that finally matched the singleplayer in scope and a story that took the Halo series in an unexpected direction that was still a wonderfully logical step. Roll on Halo 6!"

(six points, one first, one second, one third)

=Bloodborne



"The first Souls game I fell madly in love with. Top stuff that inspired me to go back to Dark Souls."

"Joint best game of all time with Dark Souls."

=Rise Of The Tomb Raider



"The sequel to a good game that was unsurprisingly still good fun. Not earth shattering though."

Undertale (ten points, two firsts, two seconds)



"I've gushed about this enough on this forum, so I'll keep this short. If you've played Earthbound and you enjoyed it, you'll love this. If you like RPGs, you'll love this. If you like skeletons with a fondness for puns, you'll love this. If you don't like fun... well, let's just say you're gonna have a bad time."

"A PC exclusive, this lovely little game really plays with what games can and should be. Difficult to talk about with spoiling, rest assured Undertale is a masterclass in emotion, amusement and adventure."

(four points, one first)

Her Story: "Another PC game, and one that hardly makes sense anywhere else. A masterwork in innovative, non-linear storytelling that blows apart every rule of narrative for games or any other medium."

(three points, one first)

Aviary Attorney: "IT'S A LAWYER SIM WHERE YOU PLAY AS BIRDS WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT YOU PROLES."

Yakuza 5: "Kazuma Kiryu came back and proceeded to kick all kinds of ass. A game that got even bigger and better in a series that was already massive and great. WOW!"

Helldivers

(no firsts, just a three point total)

Everybody's Gone To The Rapture

(two points, one second, each)

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed: "AkibaSTRIP, eh, lads?  EH?  Nudge nudge, wink wink, know wot I mean?"

Rare Replay
Until Dawn

(one point, one third, each)

Forza Horizon 6: "Phwoar, look at dem cars!  Cars, eh?  Cars!  CARS."

Looney Tunes: Galactic Sports

Almost certainly due to me not being totally clear on the criteria for this award, some games had to be chopped from people's votes. For this, I thank you for your patience whilst we tinker with giving credit to Nontendo games (Balla did describe last year's Other Formats Award as a "bit of a shambles"; this was certainly not a shambles, just a bit unfortunate in places). Still, some stellar games were given some great and fulsome praise; Undertale is now, if it wasn't before, a game that I am going to play in some way in the future.
