GCAP: Top Aussie games for '07 named

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Thought Bioshock would of been on there, wasn't that co made by 2k Australia?

Alright! Go australia, Puzzle Quest was such a great game! Keep developing for XBLA Australia!

Puzzle Quest is a good game, no doubt. But really...???

what the heck is "fury"?

actually the australian games industry has dozens of very good studios that work on large projects and employ thousands of people. many of the studios have staff numbers between 100-350. they do churn out a lot of low-quality movie license titles though, so the higher quality studios like infinite, krome & tantalus generally tend to sweep the awards every year.

Clearly there are only four development houses in the whole country.

Wow, Puzzle Quest. . .Really? i mean i have the game and think it's great but that many awards?

That's good, hopefully this'll spur them on to create more stuff.

Wait, what were the nominees? This list doesn't look like it was just for puzzle games. EDIT: Guess it was just for Australian made games.

Not interested in any of those games.

No Ty the tasmanian tiger this year :P

Not interested in any of those games.

why didnt bioshock win like everything?

Easily the best puzzle game i have ever played. yes, it beats tetris. game won every award possible (audio was decent so it really couldn't have won that). everyone everywhere should play it.

Special commendation: Fury? Are they insane?

i agree completely - puzzle quest is the best game ive played all year. im really looking forward to their next title too, galactrix - which seems to be puzzle quest in space.

Why Fury? That game flopped bad

I don't believe that Bioshock got nominated because a lot of it's work was done overseas, and it was also bankrolled by a foreign publisher. Also, why didn't Fury make the cut? In any case, congrats must be lavished upon Puzzle Quest, it is an incredibly addictive game. I'm amazed to learn it's an Aussie title. Perhaps this shows just why Australian developers need to be given the same tax breaks other entertainment industries receive.

Fury anybody??

Australian developers worked on BioShock and that didn't make any award; WTF?!

woah, a puzzle game won, must have been good. I thought Ty 3 might have got something...

Puzzle Quest FTW...seriously!

BioShock should have won for best audio - an Aussie, Emily, from Irrational in Canberra (now 2K Australia) was largely responsible. Was it even nominated?

I never played it but by the look of it Puzzle Quest must be a really good game.

It is a great game.

As expected and deserved, Puzzle Quest dominated. Puzzle game of 2007 without a doubt.

very addictive game
