BAFTA

So again, this is old news by now but I’ve only just got round to writing about it (I am both easily distracted and incredibly slow at composing blog posts), but LittleBigPlanet PSP won!

All the incredibly hard work SCEE Cambridge put into transferring the fabulous world of LBP onto PSP paid off! The game was nominated for both Best Handheld and Best Use of Online and whilst FIFA10 took home the gong for Online, we beat back some tough competition to take home the award for Best Handheld.

The other nominees were: Gran Turismo, LocoRoco Midnight Carnival, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, Professor Layton & Pandora’s Box and Scribblenauts. You can read more about the event on the BAFTA website.

Congratulations to all the guys and gals at SCEE Cambridge – it was certainly a nice milestone to round off my time at the studio!

I guess now I can say that I’m a BAFTA award-winning games developer?

Well, it’s been ages since I was actually on the PSP project, but I was still eligible to get a sackboy figure! Yay! He’s a really nice representation of the character, I imagine mainly because he’s made out of plastic rather than cloth. I nabbed a key-ring version for Marie and he is just ridiculously cute, throwing out peace sign with aplomb!

Yay for freebies! \o/

Oh and there’s been a small influx of news regarding LBP PSP recently, so I’ll try and collate all that a bit later!

Look what I got in the post today!

Well taking the day off to do work does have it’s advantages! Look what was waiting for me when I came downstairs for breakfast:

Anyone else get their LBP tshirt in the post today? It's awes... on Twitpic

For the record it was the LBP tshirt, not the handsome chap contained within! That would be weird. I got it as a result of this. It’s actually a very good quality tshirt from Fruits of the Loom and the print is pretty good as well. Rasta’s not normally my style, but I can make an exception here I think! Thanks Media Molecule!

Now… I wonder if there were other designs and if so – what were they? I’m intrigued!

EDIT: Stupid Twitpic, only letting me link the thumbnail version. As long as I’m linking it back to their site, why do they care if it’s the big version or not?
