The Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) has been organizing and holding this event to select and award outstanding computer entertainment software products of all computer platforms including home videogame systems and PCs since 1996 based on the spirit of "openness", "fairness" and "justness".

Considering computer entertainment software to be a cultural form, the "CESA GAME AWARDS" are held to contribute to its growth and also to vitalize the computer entertainment software industry. By encouraging voting by the public and publicizing nominated and awarded products, it is hoped that the social recognition of the computer entertainment software industry is to be expanded and advanced.
