Best Independent Game, Best PS3 Game, Best Original Score. And if you ask me, they should also win Game of the Year. Three awards so far from VGA 2012. Congrats to all the folks behind Journey. You deserve these awards and more. If you haven't played Journey yet, don't talk to me. Hey, even Jim liked it.

It's actually incredibly beautiful orchestral stuff that seems to compliment the eerie visual splendor. Which is rather nice.
