Welcome to Mod DB and the 6th Annual Mod of the Year Awards - the definative event that showcases the best mods and indie games in the world and recognizes the teams behind them. The MOTY is a tribute to the creativity, dedication & hard work independent developers put into creating unique gaming experiences that enable us to "play something different".
Over the coming months we will showcase to you the best mods and games in the industry. You vote for those you believe are worthy of recognition. At the top of this program sits the ultimate prize, the mod of the year award won previously by Natural Selection, Red Orchestra, PoE2 and Garry's Mod. Thanks to our sponsors, this year we have a few surprizes up our sleaves not to mention a slew of prizes for the participating teams.
From Dec 1st to Jan 1st, industry professionals, developers, gamers and the general public cast their votes to decide which mods define the cutting edge of interactive entertainment and which mod teams attain gaming celebrity.
Follow the links to join us on an unforgettable journey as we present the 2007 Mod of the Year.

It has been a big year of modding and a big year for the Mod DB, but nothing is bigger than our Mod of the Year (MOTY) awards which we look forward to launching in a weeks time. It is time to recognize and showcase the best of the best from the indie game development scene. This year we will be doing things just like we have in past years... but before we kick off the event in true Mod DB style we would like to hear from you, our community (and the players choice voters) how you would like this years event to be run.
What should the winning categories be? Who should win prizes, how should you vote? Put forward any ideas you have because we want this years event to be better than it ever has been. Mod DB team out.

The problem with not having best in a category (ie: best driving, best shooter), is that it makes us people that made a mod without the luxury of an SDK go up against mods that the makers had an SDK for and were able to do add more things to the mod.
I think that recognizing each aspect of the mod is a good thing, but they shouldn't have ditched the best in genre awards.
I agree; that's why - along with the sheer size of its community - we always see Half-Life 2 mods winning. At least acknowledge these categories in the post-mortem, even if there are no prizes associated with them.
I see somemore categories this year :) .
Paranoia all the way!
metroid online for the win!
i voted paranoia
Yes, I to wish to show a video preview of my modification. Will you please complete the video previews as soon as you can, I will be extremely greatful if you did.
When will the annoying video's servers be fixed so that I can showcase my mod video for the MOTY's?, & why are they taking so long to get up?, & will they be up & ruuning before the MOTY's voting gets into full swing, if not, modders that have already got video's uploads from before the site switched over will have an unfair advantage over other modder's that arn't yet able to showcase their video's.......:(
