Check out the full list of the 2012 VGA winners, including Game of the Year.
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Act Normal Games today announced with great delight and thrill that their isometric post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure “Rauniot“, is now available PC (via Steam, GOG, and GMG." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The game, which has launched in early access, has been in development for years with more than 3,000,000 wishlists on Steam.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Honestly this was a bullshit VGA to me. Why? Because Far Cry 3 was a serious GOTY contender, and not talking about many other awards, but the game is not there.
Yet AC3 was there, and it was released like, 1 week earlier?
Anyways, if FC3 was there, it wouldve been different. This game deserves more attention.
Oh yeah, and Walking Dead only won GOTY because of the actual series and popularity. At least im glad they took COD out from many awards.
I can't believe Walking Dead won, it's good but it's kind of overrated in my opinion (I said Opinion), I would of liked to see Dishourned win or even Journey, hell if Borderlands 2 or Far Cry 3 was nominated I would of wanted them to win aswell. Now thats it won I doubt we'll see TT games move on from point and click games
Oh and Arkane or Gearbox should of won Studio of the Year they deserved it.
EDIT
Actually...by the way where the HELL was that game "Old School Gamers" would enjoy that Geoff talked about

Pretty disapointing only 3 new games were announced...worst VGAs ever.
Journey should have won but it was a popularity contest where the tv show fans of walking dead bombarded the vga voting.
Cause let me get this straight Journey wins best downloadable game where TWD is also nominated but TWD wins goty.
Kind of a very quiet night for the game reveals. Yet another hint that Next gen systems are being revealed this June.
Anyway, IDK about that GOTY award. I think there were a lot of bigger games who probably should have taken it.
I just wanted Gravity Rush to win best handheld... Oh well, it did get nominated at least.
Glad P4:A won the award for best fighting game! That studio is good!
