Big Chip “Game of the North” Award 2009 (27/02/2009)

Independent trade association Manchester Digital has announced details of the Game of the North Award, which will recognise some of the excellent work done by the talented games businesses across the region.

The award is open to developers of stand-alone videogames working on any platform from the North East, North West and Yorkshire and Humberside. The winning entry at last year's ceremony came from PiEye Games in Lincoln for its web-based game DarkSide, which the judges praised for its addictiveness, style and cost effectiveness. The judges will again be looking for such high levels of innovation, outstanding design and playability.

The winners will be announced at a black-tie dinner in Manchester on 18 June, which will be hosted again by radio and TV presenter Terry Christian.
