It should be noted that the majority of awarding bodies also recognise games and their developers in subcategories not covered here.
We decided to focus on the categories that appear most frequently throughout the various prize groupings.
The Golden Joystick Accolades, for example, are decided purely by public vote. We have also left out any awards that don't primarily connect to the calendar year, such as those that are supposedly presented during E3.
