To be eligible for a Pawn award a game had to have been reviewed (not previewed) by our writers in the year of the Pawn being awarded. The three tiers of awards are, from lowest to highest, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. I’ve been asked why don’t I do a Bronze award. I mean, who really wants to win Bronze?
To find out more about each game you just need to click its thumbnail to be magically whisked away to the review.
