This years Game Developers Conference, which will be held on March 25th in San Francisco California, announced an impressive list of nominees this past Monday.‚ The GDC deviates from most game award shows due to the judges, which are the people behind the scenes of the games themselves, which legitimizes the acclaim.‚ Therefore, it’s no surprise games like Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead racked up four nominations each this year.‚ I’m going to keep my fingers crossed for GTA IV winning Best Writing over the other four nominees.‚ Spore and LittleBigPlanet rightfully find themselves up for most innovative.‚ But, I’m sure we’ve all got different opinions on the matter.
Check out the complete list below and check out as many of this year’s nominations as you can before next years list starts moving in.
