Created to spark conversations about videogames outside of traditional channels and launched at GameCity6, the GameCity Prize received international recognition, with Markus ‘Notch’ Persson’s runaway success Minecraft grabbing the inaugural gong.

• Bastion - Supergiant Games

GameCity Director and Prize creator Iain Simons said, “The amazing response from the mainstream media and creative communities last year proved that there was a real gap in the cultural calendar for a Prize like this. As with everything GameCity does, we try and engage as many people as possible in the conversation about videogames.
Creating the public consultation period gave fans of titles the chance to have their voice heard and this is reflected in the incredibly diverse collection of titles in our longlist.”

Now, for a while it looked like PC gaming was all going the way of the dodo, but - having battled piracy to an uneasy stalemate - it's well and truly back in the big time. Lazarus mod your heart out. In part, that's ostensibly because everybody who considers themselves a remotely hardcore gamer is sick to the hind teeth with the near-obsolete tech currently masquerading as cutting edge console gaming, and many have treated themselves to a beige box in lieu of any shiny new consoles. Nope, the renaissance of PC is also because of a revelation that's taken consoles waaaay too long to catch onto. PC games have always been better, and it's nothing to do with keyboard/mice combos, GTX 690s in SLI configurations or multi-monitor setups - it's mods. Consider this fact: once the console and the PC gamer were almost entirely separate entities, chalk and cheese, Banjo and, er... Kazooie. Games like Oblivion, Skyrim and - more recently - Minecraft have brought the audiences together, negated this disparity. Now we're all PC gamers of a sort - especially Xbox 360 owners. Which brings us to our core point. In an age where every gamer is a potential game developer - and a bloody talented one at that - consoles need mods to flourish. Just look at Skyrim: within a day ofrelease there were already hundreds of user-created mods on the Skyrim Nexus, one of which - a post-process injector - instantly elevated the PC version's slightly ropey vanilla-visuals to Witcher 2-besting fare. Now, at the time of writing, there are 17,000 of them.Some are simply simple glitch fixes, others are shudder nude skins - but an insanely impressive number are genuinely stunning additions to the adventure. Pegged Skyrim as your GOTY on 360 but haven't played a modded PC version? You're still missing out.
WE ARE THE MODS
Back in the day, mods were essentially glorified hacks. Now, the savvier developers actively embrace the talent of their gratis global workforce. Bethesda released the Skyrim Creation Kit as DLC on PC, Valve have their Perpetual Testing Initiative for Portal 2 (within days, levels of the scope, complexity and ingenuity to put Valve themselves in the shade were being uploaded). Tellingly, both these toolsets were only available on PC.
If it feels like we've heard about Amazon's intention to punch through the Japanese wall with Kindle before, it's because we have. However, if a new report on Reuters via The Nikkei is to be believed, it could finally be getting closer. It's said that the internet retailer had planned to launch its e-reader line in September, but supply chain problems put paid to that. Now we're told it'll land in "early October" with Amazon hurriedly securing Japanese content in time for the busy end of year sales period. The Kindle's still not out of the woods just yet though, as it's also been suggested that publishers are being asked to change data formats for their content, which is ripe for causing another bottleneck, should they not comply in time. Sadly, given the history of this tale, we're not expecting Japanese farm owners to be making any irrational bets just yet.

GOG.com, the scrappy upstart digital distribution provider that's all heart (and ethernet cable) has just turned four, and they're celebrating in their usual fashion. As a distribution service, they've changed a lot over the last four years, and in the process of doing so the people who've been making the weekly (or more often!) trip to the digital storefront to see what's new has also changed: many people come to GOG.com to buy newer games, and they may have been missing out on the classics that got the site started.
To help make sure that gamers who haven’t played the great games in the GOG.com classics catalog can pick them up cheaply, GOG is giving away gifts to celebrate its birthday. Just last week, they had all of the D&D games on sale. Today, they have such timeless classics as Total Annihilation, Outcast, Master of Orion 1+2 will be available for $2.39, while other 23 Atari games will also be offered 60% off. Visit the Atari All-Star promo page to check all the games. There will be three more weeks of "birthday celebration" sales where gamers can pick up some of the greatest games ever made, all on GOG.com for substantial savings, so be sure to keep checking the site out.
On Thursday, October 11, one week before the grand finale, an unheard-of deal with one of the finest indie developers of video-gaming magic will be announced, and finally, on the 18th of October, GOG.com will go public with the biggest change to the serviece since launching from beta-and will have tons of other great news, releases, and announcements as well. Stay tuned to GOG.com, GOG.com Facebook page and Twitter account to not miss any special broadcasts in coming weeks.
