Wargaming has topped all other crazy superlative nuttiness in its path toward total global conquest with BigWorld-powered World of Tanks, taking home GAME OF THE YEAR at GDC Russia this past weekend.

Wargaming also took home the Audience Award and the Games Industry Award.

“It’s a big honor for us,” said Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi. “We took our time to develop World of Tanks to make sure that we were putting out a top quality game, and the award for the Best Game of 2011 that we’ve been honored with is additional proof of what a great project we’ve managed to create. I would also like to thank the gamedev representatives for giving us the Industry Award. And, of course the most important, a very special thanks to the players who supported us and made the Audience Award possible. We are working 24/7 and won’t stop until World of Tanks reaches perfection”.

Ultra-congratulations with a side of uber-pride, Victor, Wargaming and the rest of the team!

The World of Tanks E3 presence should be fairly superlative itself. Keep an ear to the ground.

Wargaming.net recently announced their top-secret BigWorld-powered title – “World of Tanks”. Their early prototype, which was seen by a select few at Moscow’s recent Russian Game Developer’s Conference (KRI), featured heavy PvP arena-style action between Soviet and German forces along the Eastern Front in WWII.

The title is currently expected to go into beta in Russia and former Soviet countries later this year. We’ll keep you informed of their progress, but until then, you can find additional information at their (Russian) site, World of Tanks, and as always you can check out their main site Wargaming.net ]]> http://blog.bigworldtech.com/bwblog/2009/05/tanks-ftw/feed/ 0
