Hey Got Gamers!

Welcome to year 2 of Got Game! We had one heck of a celebration this week to mark the last 52 weeks of Canadian video game radio, but don’t worry! You can still catch the festivities; all you have to do is play the audio file below, or as we like to call it: the Got Game podcast for Sunday, May 9th, 2010!

However, we did far more than just talk about our favourite moments from the first year of Got Game.

On this week’s episode we also:

• Talked with Wade McGilberry. The winner of 2K’s pitch a perfect game for 1 million dollars contest.



• Take a look around the world of 3D Dot Game Heroes with Aram Jabbari of Atlus Games
• Plus we have 3 reviews this week:

1. Ken tackles 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
2. Calhoun walks a long way to review Nier
3. Zack goes first person punching with Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition

And as promised we have the winners of the Canadian Video Game Awards for you listed here on our site. Below this sentence you will find all of the categories and all of the nominees for this year. I’ve also highlighted each of the winners by making their names red.
