Two key sponsors add their support to the GameShadow Innovation in Games Awards
GameShadow today announces that Microsoft Visual Studio has given its
support to the new GameShadow Innovation in Games Awards as title
Sponsor. Microsoft Visual Studio joins previously announced sponsors
ATI, Softwrap and Limelight Networks, and new category sponsor
Moviestorm who will be supporting the Best Machinima Movie Award.
Nicholas
Lovell, CEO of GameShadow, commented, "It is fantastic that Microsoft
Visual Studio is supporting the GameShadow Awards. It shows that there
is a real commitment out there to uncover and recognise real creative
innovation as oppose to only rewarding the big industry blockbusters.
This sponsorship marries Microsoft Visual Studio's desire to make it
easier for developers to make great games with our drive to help gamers
play the most innovative titles."
More than 50 games have been
nominated for awards across categories including Best Script,
Innovative Use of Audio and Most Innovative Gameplay. Gamers can vote
for their favourite title, and see the current results, in real-time,
in the ATI CrossFire People's Choice Awards. Over 5,000 people have
voted already, and with three weeks to go until voting closes, there is
still time to make a difference. As an added incentive, all voters are
entered into a draw to win an ATI CrossFire Ultimate Gaming Kit worth
over $1,000.
