Sid Meier Is The Most Award-Winning Developer Ever!

Does an entry in the Guinness World Records count as an award? If so, chalk up another one for Sid Meier, who has just entered the 2008 Gamer's Edition of that prestigious publication as the game industry's most award-winning creator. Among his many achievements are numerous awards for the Civilization series, induction into the Computer Museum of America's and Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Halls of Fame, and a commemorative star on the Walk of Game. How does it feel?

“I’m fortunate to be able to do what I love and am grateful for all of the wonderful recognition I’ve received over the years,” said Sid Meier. “It is every kid’s dream to make it into the Guinness World Records and I’m thrilled to be a part of the prestigious book. I’m thankful to the many game critics who have enjoyed our games and hope they are as excited about our upcoming Civilization Revolution title as I am.”

And there, my friends, is why great men are great. They are never too proud to slip in a little marketing. Go read some more marketing in the official press release, while I apply some watercolor photoshop filter love to this great, great man.

The Nintendo DS Lite finally made its way stateside, sold like hotcakes (a mathematical constant of 68,250 per day, or 47.3958333 DS/min.) and generally pleased gamers looking for a handheld to match their iPods. But Nintendo got a bit of bad news, as Hong Kong criminals always bet on black, stealing a shipment of black DS Lites and DS games to the tune of a cool $2 mil. More »

As we enter the summer gaming doldrums, let us not forget that the new DS Lite will let us play better outside, where all the social, tanned people are. If you still insist on staying indoors on this lovely day, at least get caught up with what was goin' on at Kotaku last week. More »

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Memorial Day and carefully avoiding the outdoors, instead choosing to watch your Steam client's progress installing more Half-Life 2. I'll also accept some indoor only ping pong playing with Rockstar's new Table Tennis. Otherwise, get caught up on last week's happenings at Kotaku. More »

Now that the E3 news is settling in, let's get caught up on everything that happened last week at Kotaku. More »

The biggest earth-shattering news bomb came in the redubbing of the Nintendo Revolution to the Wii. Yes. Just Wii. Not a joke, not a hoax, but an attempt by the Nintendo folk to brand themselves with something different and most certainly unexpected. Reaction has been mixed - some hate the new name, while a smaller group loathes it. Personally? I'm a fan. More »
