We’re a big supporter of Intent Media’s annual Games Media Awards and will be sponsoring the ‘Legend’ category this year.
That award isn’t up for a vote but the shortlist for the other awards have all been announced – and it’s good to see independent games sites getting a real look-in for the first time. Our congratulations to God is a Geek, Gaming Union, London Calling, XboxGameZone and Ready-Up in particular.
Full list is below. Let us know what you think of the nominations and which sites and writers you’d have put in instead.
