Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of video games, I am thrilled to see the nominations for the 26th Annual DICE Awards. It's exciting to see Marvel's Spider-Man 2 leading the pack with nine nominations, followed closely by Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3. The competition is fierce this year, with a total of 56 games nominated across 23 categories.
I'm particularly excited about the Outstanding Achievement in Character category, where Miles Morales from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is nominated alongside other compelling characters like Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 and Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. It's great to see the recognition for the hard work and creativity that goes into developing these characters and bringing them to life.
