Special Hugo Award For Videogames

techno-vampire writes "Every year, the Hugo Awards are given out at the World Science Fiction Convention, and each year's convention is allowed one special category. This year's convention, LACon IV, has decided to honor The Year's Best Interactive Video Game. As the announcement explains, games have changed over the years. 'No longer the simple flickering photons of Pong or Asteroids, the improvement in computer chips has given games not only better graphics but the capability of more involving, fully developed stories.' The time may have come that they deserve such a honor, and this year's special award is a test, to find out if they're ready."
