It’s Game Developers Conference week which means it’s also Game Developers Choice Awards week. The games are played, the nominations are in, the votes are counted, the bribes are banked, and the winners are…
Technically, Portal 2 won the show with three awards, including Best Game Design, Best Audio, and Best Narrative, but The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is the one game to rule them all, with the prestigious Game of the Year award.
Indie sweetheart Bastion nabbed the Best Downloadable Game award, with dev Supergiant Games also winning a Best Debut award for making the game in the first place. I’m sure a lot of proud moms cried.
