| Blitz Scoop Tiga Award Blitz Games last night received the prestigious Tiga (The Independent Game developers Association) Award for the Greatest Contribution to Games Development. The Award, organised by Tiga and now in its third year is held in high regard and is growing in significance within the game development community. With votes being cast by an increasing number of fellow game developers, the Award clearly demonstrates a level of respect for the contributions made by Blitz Games since its formation 15 years ago. Blitz Games has to date developed and released over 100 games and is currently working on a number of new titles for both current and next generation consoles, including the critically acclaimed Pac-Man World 3 which is due for release in Europe in early 2006. Blitz Games is based in Leamington Spa and was founded in 1990 by twin brothers Andrew and Philip Oliver and now boasts over 150 staff. The Olivers are responsible for developing over 100 games since the early 1980s and their company has three new titles planned for release in the next year, including Pac-Man World 3 and Bratz: Rock Angelz. The company continues its huge long-term investment into BlitzWare, its in-house technology, which provides one of the best game development environments of any independent developer. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
