World of Tanks wins Best Game of GDC Russia 2011
Wargaming.net announced today that its free-to-play MMO World of Tanks has taken both the Best Game of 2011 and Audience Awards at GDC Russia 2011. In addition, Wargaming.net itself took home the Games Industry Award. Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi attributes the game's success to taking time to "make sure that we were putting out a top quality game," and if the three awards the studio is taking home from GDC are any indication, the team has done just that.
World of Tanks itself -- for those who couldn't tell from the title -- is an MMO action game in which players take control of a variety of historically authentic World War II-era tanks in battles of up to 30 players. As players destroy their enemies, they earn the ability to develop their tanks with any number of upgrades, allowing them to customize their killing machines to suit their playstyles.
