Flappy Bird, 2048, and Kim Kardashian are among the 2014 IMGA nominees
Guilty pleasures
It's totally awards season right now. We've got our own PG Awards and Best App Ever, there's DICE and the IGF around the corner, and now we've got the nominees for the IMGA.
The International Mobile Game Awards are voted on by a panel of journalists, publishers, developers, and other industry experts. In fact, our very own Rob Hearn helped whittle down the following nominees.
It's probably the only awards show that will feature 2048 and Flappy Bird, and have Kim Kardashian's game down for excellence in storytelling…
