The Game Developers Choice Awards honour the developers of the best video games released during the previous calendar year. It’s the only awards program in the industry with an open peer-based nomination system, meaning honours are bestowed to developers by other developers.
This year is it Clover Studio’s epic Okami and Bethesda Game Studios’ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which lead the nominees with four nominations apiece, including best game.
“The GDC derives its authenticity from the developers themselves, who teach and share at the show – the Game Developers Choice Awards is then the natural validation of their collective artistic effort, voted on and awarded to individual game creators,” said Jamil Moledina, Executive Director of the Game Developers Conference. “Since the Choice Awards have an open nomination process and reflect the judgement of peers, the awards have earned the highest respect of the community.“
The Game Developers Choice Award ceremony will be hosted by Tim Shafer of Double Fine Productions on Wednesday, March 7.
Nominations for Best Game are Epic Games’ Gears of War, Clover Studio’s Okami, Bethesda Game Studios’ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Nintendo’s Wii Sports.
You can see the full list of award nominees over on the Game Developers Choice Awards website.
