Shadow of the Colossus from Sony Wins Big in 2006 Game Developers Choice Awards

The Game Developers Choice Awards are given each year at the annual Game Developers Conference (GDC:06). GDC:06 is happening this week in San Jose, CA. Shadow of the Colussus from Sony Computer Entertainment received the Best Game Award and was the winner in four other categories: Character Design, Game Design, Innovation and Visual Arts. There are eight award categories altogether and Shadow of the Colossus won 5.

Unfortunately, there is no Mac version of Shadow of the Colussus, a Sony Playstation game. Call of Duty 2, coming to the Mac soon from Aspyr Media, was nominated in the Audio category but did not win.

The Independent Games Festival which immediately preceeded the Game Developers Choice Awards, gave Darwinia its top prize. Darwinia is published by Ambrosia Software for the Mac. There are other Mac-compatible titles among the other IGF prize winners. [Bill Fox]
