The Game Developers Choice Awards, which honor the very best games of
the year, are voted on by developers and created for developers. They
are produced and hosted by the GDC and presented by Gamasutra.com and
Game Developer Magazine, with the aid of a distinguished Advisory
Committee that includes many of the world's top game creators, and
each award is decided by thousands of votes from game professionals
worldwide.
This year, Hideo Kojima, the Corporate Officer, Executive Producer and
Director of Kojima Productions and creator of the seminal Metal Gear
series was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his
influence on the craft of game development and his twenty years of
work on Metal Gear and other notable franchises.
