Alternative game awards 2018

Ok, you’ve read our PCGN awards - Best Game, Technical Achievement, and all that. Those are the sort of awards you have to give out to be a respectable media organisation. But what we’re really about are the alternative awards. Anyone can try and get best game, that’s easy, but you can’t plan for custom awards that are made to fit games that, hell, might not even have released yet. It’s awards like this that keep developers on their toes. How do they receive the honour of being selected for an alternative award? What must they do? Well, we’ll give you a hint. One of this year’s winners had to go to the lengths of hiring Sean Bean, putting him in a position where you kill him, and then hope that players would tweet about it. That’s some next level commitment to the alternative award cause. What can we learn from this zeal? How can we bring that next-level enthusiasm for recognition to our every day lives? We’re going to try and become a one-person battle royale - which, technically, would make us the lone survivor and therefore an instant winner. Ha! Cracked it.
