2008 Game Developers Choice Awards Winners

The Game Developers Choice Awards were held last night in San Francisco and I’m just chiming in with the results and how I faired with my predictions. I didn’t do as well as I did last year (as I recall), I only managed to get 50% of the winners right. It was mostly due to me siding with BioShock when I should of picked Portal and picking Portal when I should of chose BioShock. Too bad I didn’t vote for the honorary awards, they could of really helped with my percentage. :-P Oh well. I’m bummed that I didn’t do better, but I have no problem with any of the winners, they certainly deserve it. Check out the results below.
Side Note: These were the 2008 awards, not 2007, as I stated in my original post.
