Game Connection announces indie prize nominees

The organisers of Game Connection 2010 have announced the twenty finalists for the Best Video Games Projects prize, listing nominees in three categories from thirteen countries.

Three winners will be chosen, one from each of the categories of console, mobile and online.

The winners will be announced on the second day of the Game Connection event, in Lyon on November 16, 2010, where attendees can also assess each game in a live demonstration after the developers have had a chance to pitch to publishers and investors.
