GDC: Microsoft reikt Xbox Live Arcade Awards uit

Morthill
Microsoft vierde vandaag het succes van Xbox Live met de uitreiking van de Xbox Live Arcade Awards. Gedurende de maand januari hebben 26.000 mensen gestemd op hun favoriete games. Hieruit zijn uiteindelijk zes publieksprijzen komen rollen en vier prijzen op basis van verkopen, hoeveelheid gespeeld, Metacritic cijfers of het personeel.

The Xbox LIVE Arcade business is currently the strongest it’s ever been, thanks to the content provided by the diverse range of talented developers attached to the platform. The Game Developers Conference is the perfect venue to recognise the successes of Xbox LIVE Arcade developers, and as we move further into 2008, gamers can expect to see even more quality content land on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Aldus Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox LIVE bij Microsoft.
