    Yep they are almost upon as again. Put your hand up if you care, no me
    neither. Now this looks like it's more worthwhile.

    Maybe we should create our own awards ceremony. Any guesses who will win
    most long winded poster? :-)

    That is an award ceremony worth watching. As for Game Awards, not so
    sure, I don't follow gaming as closely as some here, but the game list
    seems underwhelming, a lot seem to be missing, or maybe I have poor
    memory when games were released.

    The categories I'd be interested in are:

    Best Narrative
    Best Debut Indie Game
    Best Independent Game
    Games for Impact
    GOTY

    But I don't know any of them and not sure I want to.

    Gaming Awards usually have several things going against them:

    a) they're either run as obvious marketing campaigns
    by the video game publishers, (these are the big
    flashy award shows)or
    b) they're run by people who have no idea about the
    video game market (e.g., "Hello! Magazine Presents
    Best Games of 2024!")

    Either way, they tend to be incredibly out of touch with what is
    really popular. Add into that mix that a lot of them rely on "Internet Voting" to determine the winners and what comes out on top rarely
    reflects the current gaming zeitgeist.

    We in the UK have the BAFTA Games Awards and they are quite unashamedly
    in the who cares if it's popular this is about, well mainly anyway,
    games as art. Now some may say that's all rather pretentious but at
    least you know what you are getting!
