The Games Media Awards nominees have been announced this morning. The GMAs are an annual ceremony in which outlets, broadcasts and individual writers are rewarded for the work they’ve done through the year.
It gives me immense pleasure to be able to report that TheSixthAxis has been nominated in the category for Best Website. We’re all very happy to be on the list alongside IGN, Gamespot, Eurogamer, CVG and a couple of other independent sites that it’s also very nice to see recognised.
Our nomination is a credit to the hard work and passion of our staff but it also demonstrates the attraction of our community and the atmosphere we’ve all created to encourage discussion and friendly interaction here.
Simply achieving a nomination is a great credit to us all. Winning the award? Well, that would be amazing…

Shocked Dan Lee isn’t in the Rising Star category. Shocked. Then again, maybe if he kept his pants on more often …
Kovacs
Also pretty pissed Simon Parkin isn’t nominated. He’s only the best games writer in the business by a country mile. Grr …
Dan Lee
NEVER.

Well chuffed for you, I take it the winners are decided by peers as opposed to the public ?

Yep, noms by public votes, winners decided by committee.
