Game Developers Choice Awards 2010

Game Choice Awards 2010 er netop overstået ved årets Game Developers Conference. Det særlige ved denne årligt tilbagevendende ceremoni er, at samtlige nominerede og efterfølgende vindere indenfor hver kategori, udvælges udelukkende af spiludviklere.

Faktisk er showet slet ikke tilegnet almindelige forbrugere, men vi har nu alligevel lånt listen over nominerede og vindere fra ceremonien, som fandt set i nat.

Interessant nok er nogle af spillene gengangere fra såvel Eurogamers læseres egen Top 50 for 2009, ligesom et par af spillene findes på den nyligt offentliggjorte liste fra vort lille lands første Danish Game Awards.
