Many of these games are not available yet, and our impressions in those cases was based on the information public at the time. Games will be presented in alphabetical order. Once we went to the GDC, we focued on getting our hands on games we were unable to play at home. Their powers combined, we present here our hands-on impression of each of the nominees, along with the award for which they were nominated.
