Jocurile nominalizate la 2012 Game Developers Choice Awards

Game Developers Conference 2012 (GDC) se va desfasura in luna martie in San Francisco si, ca in fiecare an, producatorii de jocuri vor sarbatori cele mai importante titluri ale anului precedent. 

Asta inseamna ca jocurile din 2011 mai au inca o ocazie de a pleca acasa cu un premiu, unul foarte prestigios: Game Developers Choice Awards, acordat de specialistii din industrie, nu de public.
