overall awards
The final winners are in for the overall category on IGN. We won the following awards in this category:
- Best Puzzle Game
- Special Achievement for Innovation
- Best Handheld
- Overall Game of Show
It’s hard to imagine that Scribblenauts has caught so much attention. This little idea that we started working on last year, that even I was pretty skeptical about, is now a highly anticipated game. IGN’s Overall Game of Show award is probably the single best award a game can win before it’s even out on the market. Clearly we have a gem on our hands.
To tally it up, we won 9 total E3 awards from IGN, every award we were nominated for. On top of that, Scribblenauts has won Overall Game of the Show from GameSpy, and multiple awards for best DS or handheld game of the show. Many publications are yet to announce winners. We won IGN Overall Game of Show against blockbuster, multi-million dollar budget titles for XBox 360 and Playstation 3. This is huge recognition for our humble, yet ambitious, little game. But I don’t have time to celebrate yet, I need to get back to work.
