I’m not gonna beat around the bush and waste your time too much with this. We all know that 2017 was an amazing year for video games, both VR and non-VR, so it was incredibly difficult to choose winners in these categories. After careful deliberation and voting though, winners have been selected.
If you want a whole bunch of build up and grandstanding for each category then you can look over the nominee list for our thought process one more time. And don’t forget to leave a comment down below letting us know how our opinions are wrong!
