Journey Receives 11 D.I.C.E. Nominations

Thatgamecompany's Journey leads the D.I.C.E. Awards with 11 nominations including Game of the Year, ahead of The Walking Dead and Far Cry 3.

Sixty-three games earned nods at this year’s D.I.C.E. Awards, and Thatgamecompany’s Journey leads the field with a remarkable 11 nominations, Game of the Year among them. It’s up against Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead and XCOM: Enemy Unknown for the top prize, with The Walking Dead close behind on eight nominations and Far Cry 3 also racking up multiples. A wordless downloadable game topping the list says a lot about where the medium’s heart was that year.
