This made me laugh. The nominations for the 24th annual Golden Joystick awards are open and us gamers can show how democratic we are by voting for our favourite games of the year. The esteemed UK Resistance (militant Sega fanboys who still resent Sony – see here and here – for murdering the Dreamcast, for those who aren’t in the know) are calling for everyone to vote for 50 Cent: Bulletproof so that the developers have to go and collect their award and get publicly humiliated on TV.
Naturally this will also lead to nobody making any more stupid urban “gangsta” games, so we all win. Do it now.

Just by way of a follow up, the nominations have been released and 50 Cent: Bulletproof has been nominated in five categories including the incredibly patronising “Girls Choice” and the ultimate GOTY. Hooray!
