The results for the 2007 Adventure Game Studio Awards are out! The big winners this year are Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! (5 awards), A Tale of Two Kingdoms (4 awards), and Yahtzee, who won 4 awards (2 for 6 Days a Sacrifice and 2 for The Art of Theft). The award show can also be experienced as an AGS game (direct download), which is pretty awesome.
