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 used to have "Top 100 best games of Year-n" in video game
magazines. Those were likely influenced by the publishers too, but at
least they were written by people who were immersed in video games and
they back up their claims for why each game deserves its rank. I found
those more convicing awards than anything I've ever seen on the
Internet... and even then, they were still pretty bollocks.

I have some ideas. Let me iterate them further in a two-hundred line
explanation of whom it could be, and why. ;-)

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!
