MCV AWARDS 2014: GAME celebrates double victory

The resurgence of GAME continued last night as the retailer took home two prizes at the MCV Awards.

GAME was given the nod as Specialist Retailer of the year. Under the guidance of Martyn Gibbs, the firm spent the past 12 months revamping its stores and introducing a wide variety of digital products to its offering.

The firm also fought off fierce competition from PlayStation and Xbox to win the Community Engagement prize for its nationwide lock-in and midnight launch events, along with its highly engaging social media program.

The full list of winnerscan be found here.

Now entering its eleventh year, the MCV Awards recognise the UK video games industry’s finest and celebrate achievements across all its sectors, from retail, publishing and development, to distribution, media and service providers.

This year’s event is supported by bar and disco partner Xbite, trade launch partner EA, gold partner Future and Kotaku UK, event partners Curse, Green Man Gaming, GamesGrabr, Gamescom, Simply Games, Intergi, An.x and Think Tank, award partners Razer, IGN and OnLive, plus tablet gift partners OPM and Orb.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
