Citizen Game

Golden Joysticks 09′

Two weeks ago myself and Barry attended the Golden Joystick Awards in central London. The event was short and sweet (we reckon most of the developers attended to enjoy the after party hosted by DJ Shadow) and the winners were an interesting choice, especially as they were voted for by 1,200,000, gamers across the UK. Comedian Sean Lock presented the awards to a ballroom full of developers, publishers and hangers on while we enjoyed the comfort of the media room.

While there I had the chance to talk to DJ D-Code, music developer for DJ Hero and Sonic World Record Holder James Richards. When you’re done with the video, check out the winners below and let us know what you think in the comments. More information about the event can be found here.
