Strangely nominees for Game of the Year are exactly the same as the Fans&#8217; Choice award so I guess the games get two kicks at the can for an award.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Other categories for awards include best console game, downloadable game, game on the go, iOS game, social\/casual game, game innovation, best indie game, and original music among others.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m all for spotlighting Canadian videogame makers, I&#8217;m a little critical of the way the categories were chosen and organized. All of the games in the &#8216;downloadable&#8217; category are PC games, which would make more sense if this was a category for best PC game. Though some of the games are also on PSN\/Xbox Live. Not all of the games in the &#8216;best iOS game&#8217; are iOS exclusives. The &#8216;games on the go&#8217; category features games from iOS\/Android\/3DS\/PC? The lines between the categories are a little blurred and will make knowing what you&#8217;re up for somewhat hard to follow.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianvideogameawards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadian Videogame Awards<\/a> will be handed out at the Carlu on November 21st.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kEYmKPVVwbM?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voting is now open for the Fans\u2019 Choice Award for the 5th Annual Canadian Videogame Awards.
