Lots of excitement has been had at this year's GDC 2011. In case you missed out on the 13th Annual Independent Games Festival Awards [news] and the 11th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards [news], drop by to check them out. You might be surprised at the results, and you might find some new games to play based on the Independent Games Festival nominees and winners! We also had the chance to interview the award winners behind the scenes, so keep your eyes peeled for this video soon enough!

　　If you weren't paying attention yesterday, we had a two-hour live stage show, which showed off games like Mortal Kombat, Earth Defense Force: Insect, Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, MLB 11: The Show, and Hybrid. You can find the individual stage demos by visiting the gamespaces. The trivia prize for this episode happened to be game codes for Beyond Good & Evil HD. Feel free to continue submitting your trivia answers until 11:59 p.m. PT tonight, and we'll randomly select winners soon.

　　Today's live stage show is still a mystery according to the live show schedule, but I assume it will be just as packed with games, minus the Australian humor and cake that you'll find in yesterday's live show. Also, a little bird with orange spots told me that the trivia schwag today might just be related to Killzone 3. Drop by later today at 4 p.m. PT to participate in the trivia and watch the live show. We'll also have the chat room URL above the video player, like yesterday. Until then!
