It's that time of the year once again. Time for N4G to determine the year's winners. But, before we get to that, we first need to determine the nominees. Not only do you get to help determine who has a chance at winning, you also have a chance to win a $100 or $50 Amazon Gift Card during each part of the nomination process.
This is part 1 of 3 blog posts this week that will ask you, our N4G users, for your nominees in a variety of GotY categories. For each one of the categories, submit up to 3 nominees. Just reply with your nominees to the following categories and you will not only help to determine who is up for winning in each category but will also be entered for a chance to win a $100 or $50 Amazon Gift Card.
GOTY Nominee Categories - Part 1
1. Best New Video Game Character
2. Best Single Player Experience
3. Best Multiplayer Experience
4. Best DLC
5. Best Episodic Content
Some stories come in pieces, what piece was the best of them?
6. Best Handheld Game
Portable console or mobile game
Note: You don't have to have three nominees for each category nor nominees in each category, just put in what you can. Remember that the games or content had to be originally released in 2016. Rereleases on other platforms in 2016 do not count if it originally released in 2015 on one or more other platforms.

The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
It seems Black Ops 6 will be another "DLC" download added to the Call of Duty HQ app for all platforms when it launches later this year.
In recent weeks, reports have surfaced that Take-Two is shuttering Kerbal Space Program 2 developer Intercept Games and OlliOlli World developer Roll7. Now, IGN has learned that not only are these closures imminent, but they are a part of a larger move by Take-Two to either sell off or shut down the entirety of its indie label, Private Division.
