2012 Nodie Awards

Best Strategy/Simulation Game

The nominees are:

Angry Birds Star Wars

Awesomenauts

FTL: Faster Than Light

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

And The Winner Is…

XCOM

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The folks at Firaxis have mastered turn-based strategy mechanics with the Civilization series, but few titles in the genre manage to create such a powerful sense of tension like XCOM: Enemy Unknown. The perfect marriage of the two key systems – base operations and actual battles – reinforces the importance of consequence and decision-making. The result is a refreshing strategy game that manages to appeal to newcomers and veterans alike.

– Anthony LaBella

Runner Up: FTL: Faster Than Light
