L’anno sta per finire ed è tempo di bilanci anche nel mondo dei videogiochi. Si avvicinano in tal senso i The Game Awards 2018, la cerimonia americana di premiazioni dei migliori prodotti dell’industria videoludica. Nell’edizione 2017 dei premi sono stati molti i titoli premiati con The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sugli scudi.
Quest’anno Red Dead Redempition 2 pare essere il più quotato a fare incetta di premi con ben otto nomination. Ma il titolo RockStar Games dovrà contendere gli award e soprattutto il premio come gioco dell’anno ad altri contendenti altrettanto quotati come Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, God of War e Marvel’s Spider-Man. Vediamo tutta la lista delle nomination sia dei videogiochi in lizza e dei premi accessori.
