1) You do not need this at all:

RewriteEngine On 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.pspcrazy\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pspcrazy.com/$1 [R=301,L]

2) In this type of rewrites with $1, $2, etc:

location = /vote-([0-9]*).html {
            rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1  last;
        }

-           rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1  last;
+           rewrite  ^/vote-([0-9]*).html   /index.php?page=Vote&id=$1  last;


3) In this type of rewrites:

location = /polls.html {
            rewrite  ^   index.php?page=Polls last;
        }

-           rewrite  ^   index.php?page=Polls last;
+           rewrite  ^   /index.php?page=Polls last;

4) You need to place these rules inside one server and then add 
rewrite for www.pspcrazy.com:

server {
    server_name  www.pspcrazy.com;

    location /game-browser- {
        ...
    }

    ...

    location = /rss-articles.xml {
         rewrite  ^ rss-articles.php last;
    }

    # do not forget about PHP handler:
    location ~ \.php$ {
         ...
    }
}

server {
     listen  80   default;
     server_name  _;

     rewrite  ^  http://www.pspcrazy.com$request_uri?  permanent;
}
