Catherine – Atlus Persona Games
Contre Jour – Chilingo
Dark Souls – From Software
DayZ – Dean "Rocket" Hall
Dear Esther – thechineseroom
English Country Tune – Increpare Games
Fez – Polytron

Mass Effect 3 – Bioware
Proteus – Ed Key & David Kanaga
Skyrim – Bethesda Game Studios
Spelltower – Zach Gage
Super Mario 3D Land – Nintendo EAD
Waking Mars – Tiger Style Games
GameCity Prize's organizers will pare that list down over the next few weeks, before allowing a panel of judges -- a group of wider cultural commentators that include Young Bond author Charlie Higson and Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons -- to choose a single winner.
