Assassin's Creed 2 takes seven at MI6 Awards
As if
Assassin's Creed 2 hadn't already taken enough prestigious awards (not to mention a
number two spot in our best of 2009 list), the MI6
released word today that the game also earned seven gold awards in marketing at the fifth annual MI6 Awards on April 1 in San Francisco. From "Outstanding Overall Integrated Marketing Campaign" (though all the cool kids call it the "OOIMC" -- pronounced "oo-imp-ka") to "Outstanding TV or Theatrical Ad Campaign,"
AC2 swept the awards show, only closely lead by
Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles and
NBA 2K10 at four each (remember folks, these are awards for
marketing).
If you'd like, the whole list is
available here (in PDF format, so you know). And yeah, if you hadn't already guessed,
the Darkside Chronicles shirt was totally voted "Best Swag."
Deservedly so.
