GMA Legend Award goes to PC Zone – Pat’s speech
Tonight during the Games Media Awards, VG247′s Patrick Garratt stepped on stage to present the award for Games Media Legend – which he was the recipient of last year.
By now, all of you know the award didn’t go to an individual, but the now defunct PC Zone magazine, which released its final issue last month.
The magazine was the first UK magazine dedicated exclusively to PC games, and was indeed legendary and more than deserving of this award. We salute you, PC Zone.
So, without further ado, hit below the break to read Pat’s speech in full.
