Hey guys — I’m overseas to check out some top-secret video games. I’m posting this after a nightmare flight, stuck in airport hell, but in case you haven’t noticed from the While You Were Sleeping post, we won some awards, and I wanted to take some time to boast, but also to thank you guys!
Last year, Sony piloted their PSN Gamers’ Choice Awards, and they apparently liked the results enough to repeat the endeavour this year.
The Writers Guild of America is a slight misnomer. In fact, there are two separate unions, WGA West and WGA East. But they work in tandem, and once a year they come together to celebrate the past year’s achievements in writing. The 2011 awards were presented on Sunday, February 19, in a simultaneous, shared event that took place in both New York and Los Angeles.
Just like a comic-book plotline where two crimefighters battle it out to find out who’s best, the members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts will decide whether Cole Phelps and Batman had the better video game.
Every year the Writers Guild of America awards a special Outstanding Achievement in Video Game Writing award to the team responsible for the most memorable interactive entertainment script. Which of these five titles will walk away a winner on February 19?
The industry and design-focused publication Gamasutra has released their list of the top 10 games of the year, with Valve’s Portal 2 coming in at the top.
If you’re somewhere without a cable television or, worse, no television at all, you can still follow the action from tonight’s 2011 Spike Video Game Awards live, right here. Courtesy of Spike and MTV Networks, we’re glad to bring you live streaming video of the broadcast.
