VG247 named best blog, while founder wins best online writer – and the climactic Games Media Legend prize
Pat Garratt and his site VG247 took home three of the key Games Media Awards last night.
The site was named best blog, while Garratt himself won accolades for both best online writer - and was named the Games Media Legend.
"This is immensely flattering and it really means a hell of a lot, so thanks very much," said Garratt, who was otherwise quite lost for words throughout the night as the wins mounted up.
He has since posted a fuller acceptance speech to his site.
VG247 saw of fellow nominees Rockpapershotgun.com, UKresistance.co.uk, the Guardian Gamesblog and Nowgamer.com.
