The Pocket Gamer Readers’ Choice Awards 2012 are live
February 21, 2012
New format enables PG audience to nominate before voting for their favourite pocket game of the year
Lock up your daughters, because Steel Media today announces the launch of this year’s Pocket Gamer Readers’ Choice Awards.
Running alongside the Pocket Gamer Awards 2012, which reflect the choices of the PG team and selected key members of the industry, the Readers’ Choice Awards aim instead to involve Pocket Gamer readers across the globe.
And it really is involving, because new for this year’s event is what we’re calling an ‘open nominations round’ – which is an unimaginative way of saying everyone is invited to put forward the title(s) they feel best deserves one of mobile gaming’s highest accolades.
The Pocket Gamer Readers’ Choice Awards 2012 categories, per format, can be viewed here: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/readerschoice2012.asp
There is only one rule: Any game nominated must have been either reviewed on Pocket Gamer or officially released between January 1st and December 31st 2011.
The site will happily gobble up nominations for two weeks, after which we’ll gather up the entries and invite readers to vote on the finalists. We’ll then serve up the winners in March.
In the meantime, the Pocket Gamer Awards 2012 are in full swing. Selected by the Pocket Gamer team from several hundred titles across the iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Java and Sony/Nintendo handheld formats the winners will be announced during this year’s GDC, running on 5-9th March in San Francisco, with a special celebratory event co-sponsored by iDreamSky, CocoaChina, GREE, and FreeAppADay.
