Posted on 16. Jul, 2009 by Freak_c in Games, News

Ok so we know that Media Molecule are geniuses with what they achieved with LittleBigPlanet and that was before and when the game was released. Now six months later the Develop Industry Excellence Awards have acknowledged the same thing. LBP, and the minds at Media Molecule who created it, won all five awards they were nominated for: Best New Studio, Best Independent Developer, Best New IP and Achievements in Visual Arts and Technical Innovation. Thats a really great achievement, and they deserve every bit of the awards.
