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…

congratulations to everybody at TSA on the nomination, thoroughly deserved i feel.
TSA may not be the biggest games site, but there’s few can match the sense of community here.
and i can be pretty sure TSA won’t resort to sensationalism to get hits.
not too often anyway ;)
anyway, here’s hoping you do well, i’d love to see you beat out the likes of CVG and IGN, let great writing and a great community be more important than how many hits your site gets.
beers on you if you win? ^_^
