GDC jakoi peleille palkintoja

Game Developers Conference eli GDC on täydessä vauhdissa San Franciscossa. GDC:llä on myös oma Game Developers Choice Awards -gaalansa, jossa palkitaan viime vuoden parhaat pelit, hiukan Oscareiden tapaan.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves haali peleistä eniten palkintoja -- toimintaseikkailu kahmi itselleen viisi pystiä, mukaan lukien tärkeimmän eli Game of the Year -tittelin. Naughty Dogin pulphenkinen parhaus nappasi myös Parhaan käsikirjoituksen, Parhaan teknologian, Parhaan grafiikan ja Parhaan äänimaailman palkinnot.

Paras design päätyi ansaitusti Batman: Arkham Asylumille, ja parhaan käsikonsolipelin palkinto meni 5th Cellin Scribblenautsille. Tyynen rauhallinen Flower oli raadin mielestä se Paras ladattava peli.

Valven pomo Gabe Newell ja id Softwaren perustaja John Carmack pokkasivat Pioneerityön ja Elämäntyön palkinnot.

GameStopilla on palkintogaala tallessa nättinä videona.
