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?

LittleBigSackboys!

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!
