Future, the UK’s leading games media group announced today that HMV will headline and be the official sponsor of The Gamemaster Golden Joystick Awards 2012 this year. The event is to be held at The Westminster Park Plaza on Friday 26th October 2012.
How popular is the Gamemaster Golden Joystick Awards? The Guinness World Record of over 2.1 million voters will tell you.
HMV is also putting their name to the respected One To Watch award. The One To Watch award gives a chance for games not released as yet to receive praise, increasing recognition, and in turn popularity, and helping the game grow.
James Kick, Associate Publisher of the HMV GamesMaster Golden Joystick Awards, says: “We’re delighted to have HMV on board. The extensive voting campaign and amplification of the awards across our own media as well as that of our partners, means a headline slot is perfect for a retailer. On top of that, by championing the One to Watch campaign, they have a ready-made platform for driving pre-orders.”
Ewan Pinder, HMV Head of Technology & Games, adds: “We’re very excited to be partnering Future in support of the 2012 GamesMaster Golden Joystick Awards – the most prestigious consumer gaming awards there are. Our headline participation demonstrates HMV’s firm commitment to games and to gaming, and we believe that through this association, and the commercial opportunities it will create, HMV will be able to further develop the depth and scope of its games offer to its customers.”
