Amped Nominated for Edge Award

The nominees for the 2006 Edge Awards were released today, and Amped is in the running for a prize. The Awards will be presented at the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival. Here’s what Edge has to say about Amped3:

Amped 3 (360, developed by Indie Built, Inc, published by Take Two)… Just a snowboarding game? Look again. From its serious-minded roots, Amped 3 has exploded into a riot of animated comedy, delivered with a red-blooded confidence that the gaming audience is as savvy, as smart and as keen to be amused as any film or TV audience – not least because film and TV audiences //are// the gaming audience. Creative, anarchic and shamelessly un-neutered by focus-testing, Amped 3 makes it impossible to ignore how conservative and hesitant much of gaming has become.
