AbleGamers announces 2015’s Accessible Games of the Year

AbleGamers recently announced the winners of this year’s ‘Accessible Game of the Year’ awards: Psyonix’s Rocket League and SCEA San Diego Studio’s MLB: The Show.

Rocket League demonstrated exemplary design process and progressive thinking in ways of handling a traditionally inaccessible genre,” AbleGamers said of the title. “From visual cues to colorblind-friendly color schemes to accessibility options allowing a gamer to drive with only the mouse, Psyonix made us proud.”

Meanwhile, MLB: The Show, “has come up year after year as an annual favorite of the AbleGamers staff,” the public charity declared. “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, MLB: The Show was narrowly edged out for the last three consecutive years. 2015 proved to be the year of baseball with innovative options, smart design choices, and accessible settings that make a traditional sports game easier to play for almost any gamer with disabilities.”

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
