| Sony games development awards for Abertay students Three computer games technology students at Abertay University have won prizes for their work from computer games giant Sony. The prizes were presented for outstanding development work on a PlayStation 2 Games Console during academic year 2004/05. First prize, a PlayStation2-Linux games development kit, a cheque and a certificate signed by Sony's vice-president of technology Paul Holman, was awarded to James Bird. Runner up prizes of cheques and signed certificates were awarded to Grant Norrie and Laurence Emms. The prizes were presented to all three students today by Sarah Ewen of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). Sarah oversees the PlayStation2-Linux developers community for Sony, and traveled to Abertay today to present the awards and deliver a masterclass on the new PlayStation3 games console and their cell architecture. The three award-winning students developed computer games as part of their second-year studies in console game programming. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
