Games Convention award noms named

Representatives from this week's Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, have announced their "Best of GC" nominees today. To be eligible for nomination, entries must be in a playable state and present at the convention. Category winners will be announced August 24.

Eschewing any genre-based honors, the Games Convention jury simply broke down its categories by best overall experience on each individual platform. The platform awards were further augmented by online gaming and hardware nominees. In all, more than 25 different games were nominated in the 11 different categories.
