GDC 2007: Best game awards
Part of GDC, the Game Developers Choice Awards were handed out in San Francisco last night. These are the only videogame awards that are bestowed upon developers by developers. Gears of War received the most acclaim with three awards, while Okami and Wii Sports each received two. The internet “toy” Line Rider, scheduled to slide onto the Wii and DS this year, also took home an award for Innovation.
For composing the music to hundreds of games since the early 80s, including Maniac Mansion and LOOM, George “The Fat Man” Sanger received a special award for ‘community contribution.’ I must also admit that Gears of War was something extra and these awards are probably well deserved.
The full list:
