We made it through a week of nominations and a week and a half of voting and the results are in... after nearly 600 overall votes... the Five Most Anticipated Sci-Fi Games of 2010.

The Sci-Fi category was another that received heavy voting.

Three of the category's top five also placed in the overall top 20 and several others were only a few votes out of the top 20.

Overall, a strong showing for Sci-Fi games.

Place: 1st
Votes: 118
Nomination: Race for the Galaxy: The Brink of War

The overall most anticipated game of 2010, and very clearly the dominant winner in this category as well almost doubling the votes of the second place Cosmic Encounter expansion.

Unfortunately, very little is known about the expansion.

Yet another Sci-Fi game in the top 20 overall. This FFG big box remake of the classic Games Workshop title not only placed 18th overall, but also placed 5th in the Wargames category.
