LittleBigPlanet PSP wins a BAFTA!

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?

TV Superstars Announced!

TV Superstars

GDC was a few weeks ago now and things have been rather busy but I thought I’d quickly mention that the game I’ve been working on at Cambridge Studio for a while has finally been announced! TV Superstars is a party game where you play yourself, taking part in a number of different TV shows in the hope of making it big and becoming a world famous superstar. It utilises the new PlayStation Move motion controller (which you can learn all about on the PS EU blog) and you’ll be using the PlayStation Eye to actually put your face in the game!

Eurogamer has a brief bit about it in their PlayStation Move Hands On article.

And yes, that is me in the promotional screenshots 8)
