Yesterday evening the
Dutch Game Awards were held in Amersfoort, which is a couple miles from our office. There was a total of 11 awards to be distributed amongst Dutch games, and an award for "Best Eurogame". S&S was nominated in a grand total of 5 categories, and the competition was tough. It's hard to expect much from even so many nominations when considering we were up against the likes of the face-melting-graphics-powerhouse that is
Killzone 2 and
Overlord 2's supreme-evil-minion-expending-commander-in-chief (what is that guy's name anyway? ehmm...let's just call him saurun for now).

In the end we were able to take home these 2 awards: "Best Original Gameplay" and the "Control Industry Award". Epic loot! The Control Industry Award was handed out by game-guru
Peter Molyneux (I have fond memories of me and my bro playing
"syndicate" back in the day, I'm still hoping for him to one day revisite the series - pretty please?

). I hope he enjoyed the event and that handing out awards and showing up at these kind of events isn't just part of his weekly routine.
Ronimo congratulates all Dutch Game Award Winners, especially
Nyxquest, winners of the "Best Eurogame" awards (well deserved guys!).
On a side-note (but almost equally awesome),
EDGE magazine mentions S&S in their November issue, once again calling it "one of the best console RTS games to date". Win.
