The Golden Joystick Awards 2012 remain open for one final day only. If
you haven’t voted, you owe it to your fave titles of the past year to
sort that out. www.goldenjoystick.com beckons, as does a potential £4k of tech swag from our sponsor hmv.
For the first time ever the GJs – celebrating their 30th Anniversary don’t ‘cha know – are being live streamed on our voting site from Friday 26th October 3pm BST in conjunction with YouTube.
That means game fans that’ve once again helped us smash last year’s Guinness World Record for votes cast in any gaming awards will now be able to watch their heroes pick up gongs as they’re announced. Result.
The Golden Joysticks shortlists include AAA behemoths like Skyrim to pop culture phenomena like Angry Birds and indie smashes like Journey – but we’re also keen to recognise /gamers, with an inaugural YouTube Gamer Award that pits the likes of yogscast against InTheLittleWood, TheSyndicateProject and others.
Getting back to the videogames, we have a menagerie of tasty, world exclusive reveals from the likes of Square Enix, Namco Bandai and THQ plus a special appearance that’s gonna blow your socks clean off!
