So why is it necessary to interrogate games in this way? And can we really have a games award that garners as much mainstream coverage - and intellectual debate - as the Turner prize or the Bookers? Do we want one? Gamers can be rather defensive about the wider significance of the medium, screaming 'it's just a game!' into internet comments sections as soon as any deeper consideration begins.
GameCity is taking place from October 26-29. The winner of the prize will be announced at a special event on the last day of the festival.
