The Origins awards were announced this weekend. They are the Academy awards for Games. You can check out the full list here. Unless you are really into Games probably the most interesting is Best RPG of the year and Best Boardgame of the year.
Best RPG went to Artesia, which is a fantasy game based off a comic. I'd never heard of it before now, but since it beat out Exalted, which is pretty cool, I may have to check it out.
Best Board game went to Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean . It sounds like playing Civ, if everyone played the Greeks. Oh well a Settlers of Catan game can't win every year.
