Det er alltid fascinerende å se hvordan anmeldelser fra de av oss som jobber i denne bransjen noen ganger skiller seg fra de av dere som bare elsker å spille på fritiden siden vi kanskje er ute etter forskjellige ting. Vet du hva som fascinerer meg enda mer? Å høre hva utviklerne selv beundrer og liker. Derfor er kveldens kunngjøring kul.
Tusenvis av utviklere fra hele verden vil samles på Game Developers Conference i mars, og de vil ikke bare dele sine erfaringer og lære av hverandre mens de får nye forbindelser. De vil også ha sine egne Game of the Year-priser. Den første avstemningen er nå unnagjort, så de nominerte er kunngjort. Her er de med utviklerne (se på CoD: MWII :P) og utgivere i parentes:
