The annual GDC Awards’ ceremony was held last night and the winners they don’t quite mirror those of the Interactive Achievement Awards. BioShock tied Portal for bringing home the most hardware, but Portal beat out BioShock for Game of the Year honors. Talk about an upset! I guess I’d better go out and pick up the Orange Box after all.
