Starting on Tuesday, March 3, the polls for the second annual Xbox LIVE Arcade awards will open. This year, Microsoft is actually letting us vote through our Xbox 360s, so there's no blaming the weather this time around.
In case you were wondering, Bomberman LIVE was voted as the best overall LIVE Arcade game last year (full list of winners here). What will it be this time around? My guess is that most people will opt to pick either Castle Crashers or Braid.
Honestly, I don't really care what y'all vote for, except for the "Best Classic/Remake Game" category. If Bionic Commando Rearmed doesn't end up winning, I'm going to be pretty disappointed. Make it happen, guys.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.
