Awards held at the 25th Annual Game Developers Conference Thursday, March 3rd, 2011 in San Francisco. Voted and judged upon by the game audio industry and members of G.A.N.G., the finalists represent an array of the best audio in video games from 2010. A 70 person Advisory Committee helped in deciding each of the final nominees which included hundreds of hours of research, listening, watching and playing. The final winners, voted on by the general membership of GANG, included multiple wins for Red Dead Redemption, Battlefield: Bad Company, and a strong showing by Blizzard Entertainment and Activision. "The quality bar from 2010 was so high across the board, it was impossible to predict specific wins" said G.A.N.G. President Paul Lipson "With over 350 submissions this year, just making it to the final nomination process is something all the teams and publishers can be proud of". Over 2,000 people representing over 30 countries have signed up as members of G.A.N.G. since its inception in 2002. The award show has become an annual tradition at GDC, drawing standing room only crowds and has become the centerpiece of the audio track at GDC.
