Golden Hammer Awards 2013: Video Game Awards


Hello and welcome to our 2013 Golden Hammer Awards.

This year, not only are we doing Video Game Awards, but also Movie Awards. Please keep in mind that we do have a very small team, so unfortunately, we were not able to play all the games or watch all the movies that were released this year, so some games or movies you feel strongly for may not be present in our awards.

We sincerely apologize for this but hope you can make-do with what we have prepared for you.

Don't forget to check out the LifesAHammer Movie Awards 2013 which can be accessed from the sidebar to your right or from this link:
