Golden Joystick Awards breaks Guinness World Record with 2.06 million votes

The GamesMaster Golden Joystick Awards has broken the Guinness World Record for the most votes cast in any gaming awards on record.

Over 2.06 million votes were cast during this year's shortlist voting period, smashing the previous world record set by the Golden Joystick Awards in 2009.

The winners of the 29th annual edition of the world's longest running gaming award ceremony will be revealed tomorrow at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel in London.

As well as the awards, the event promises to offer a number of surprises on the night including exclusives and reveals from across the games industry.

The Golden Joystick Awards hopes to break another world record over the weekend, when GamesMaster's Justin Towell will attempt to beat the world record lap time for the new India circuit on F1 2011 to coincide with the actual Grand Prix.
