10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards

10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards

Last night (3/11/10) at 6:30pm in the North Gall of the Moscone Convention Center, Gamers gathered for the 10th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards. These are my favorite game awards because the winners (in theory) have nothing to do with marketing, connections, dollar signs or the like. These winners are chosen by fellow artist, designers, tech geeks, and game innovators. This is an opportunity for folks working shoulder to shoulder in the game industry trenches to acknowledge the accomplishments of their fellow colleagues. Check out this years winners:
