Kianis wrote to let me know about this year’s Swedish Game Awards, a PC game competition for Swedish students. The winner of this year’s competition is a rather uninteresting block puzzle game, but definitely check out some of the other games! Kianis pointed out Streambolt Desero , which has music by none other than Joakim Sandberg, and great graphics by Gustav Kilman, who I’m a big fan of. I remember seeing this game a few years ago, I think, and I’m sad to see that it’s still not a full game (although it’s fun while it lasts!).
And definitely take a look at this trailer for Fret Nice, a sidescrolling platformer that’s played with a Guitar Hero controller! (Fret Nice won “Best Concept” in the competition.)

(Thanks, Kianis!)
