Negative Gamer Awards

Negative Gamer is pleased to announce that voting on the People’s Choice Award For Biggest Disappointment, the only publicly decided on honour at the annual Negative Gamer Awards, is now open! Along with the voting options, the short-lists of other awards due to be given out at the ceremony have been released.

Some predictable nomination, such as Dante’s Inferno and Modern Warfare 2 making the Biggest PR-Backfire award short-list, are joined by a few surprises. In the category of Biggest Broken Promise both the lack of support for the first Left 4 Dead, and the boycott group for the game’s sequel, have been nominated.

A new award for the News or Discussion Topic Driven Furthest Into The Ground has been added to last year’s list of awards, with the death of videogame journalism, the PSPgo’s failing start and the controversy surrounding Modern Warfare 2’s “No Russian” level all being nominated.
