You're invited to tune in on your televisions!
This is my second year as a judge for the awards. Actually, it might be my third. Dude, it's kind of a blur. Anyway, being a judge entails selecting nominees, then voting on those nominees to select a winner. The nominees are listed below. You can find out the winners at the same time I do, when the show broadcasts on Spike on December 14th.
This year, the judges didn't vote on the sponsored "Fueled By Dew" category for best independent game. If we did, I'd be totally torn between Braid and Audiosurf. Nothing says independence quite like Mountain Dew, I say.
And now, the fat list of nominees. Who do you think got robbed? And who do you think will win?
