Si è svolta nella notte tra il 7 e l’8 di Febbraio la 16ma edizione dei D.I.C.E. Awards. Il D.I.C.E. (Design Innovate Communicate Entertain) Summit raccoglie sviluppatori di tutta l’industria videoludica che hanno giocato e giudicato tutti i titoli dell’anno appena trascorso, premiandoli nelle diverse categorie. Siamo sostanzialmente d’accordo con l’incetta di premi fatta da Journey, che si è portato a casa ben 8 riconoscimenti tra cui Gioco dell’Anno e riteniamo che l’industria, piena di titoli prodotti in serie senza un briciolo di innovazione abbia bisogno di molti più giochi della caratura di Journey (al quale la definizione di Videogioco sta davvero stretta), opera semplice ma diretta a zone del cervello che vengono solitamente lasciate “a riposo “dalla maggior parte dei prodotti che vengono lanciati sul mercato.
Qui sotto potete leggere la lista completa degli Awards consegnati (in Inglese). Siete d’accordo?
