Sono state annunciate le nomination per i Nordic Game Awards, i riconoscimenti assegnati ogni anno alle produzioni videoludiche di provenienza nordica. L'edizione 2012 dell'evento si terrà a Slagthuset, in Svezia, dal 23 al 25 maggio.
Molti i mobile game in lizza: da DrawRace 2 a Dark Nebula Episode 2, ma non mancano blockbuster internazionali come Battlefield 3 e il fenomeno indie Minecraft.
