While we're on the topic of awards, Microsoft is giving gamers the chance to select the winners of the first-ever Xbox LIVE Arcade Awards.

Voting begins Tuesday, January 22 at 2:00 a.m. PT (5:00 a.m. GT) and runs through Wednesday, January 30 at 11:59 p.m. PT (January 31 at 02:59 a.m. ET).

The public get to have a say in the following categories:

  • Best Overall Arcade Game
  • Best Classic Game
  • Best Original Game
  • Best Family Friendly Game
  • Best Competitive Multiplayer Game
  • Best Cooperative Multiplayer Game

Other award categories - fans don't get a say in these, though - include:
  • Best selling game
  • Most played game
  • Highest rated game
  • Staff choice

The winners of the new awards will be announced at GDC in February.
