Awards for all

I'm just off to the MCV Games industry trade awards. Yes, not exactly the Oscars but fairly important, especially to retail and marketing types. The full list of finalists is here. While you rightly won't care who wins the sales team award or who picks up the retail buying gong, the new game brand and developer awards may be of interest. Also the most improved company category is always worth watching. Sega won it last year and are nominated again - a sign of how far they had fallen before their recent renaissance - but my money is on NCSoft.
