IGN.com staff pick the best from the world’s biggest games show
London, UK – 4th September 2009 – IGN.com, the UK’s leading videogame and film editorial website, today revealed its hotlist of games to watch from the recent GamesCom exhibition in Cologne, the world’s largest games show. As well as awards for the best games on each format and an overall game of the show, the categories also included nods to best publisher and best developer based on their showing at the August show, as well as a fiercely contested reader award voted for by members of the playing public at the show.

BioWare and EA’s Mass Effect 2, described by the team as, “a beautiful universe that we absolutely cannot wait to explore,” walked away with both the Best of Xbox 360 award and Overall Best Game of the Show. The Best of PlayStation 3 gong was handed to Sony Computer Entertainment’s own Heavy Rain. Developer Quantic Dreams’ thriller was praised as, “a game that touches on a truly personal level thanks to its relentless attention to detail.”

Thanks to joclo for the news tip!


Update: Looks like Nintendo has already removed the app from the iPhone store. Nintendo provided a statement about the situation below:

“Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies, and in turn expects others to respect ours as well. Nintendo did seek the removal of this application as we vigorously protect against infringement of our intellectual property rights.”

A new application is up for download for the iPhone, which replicates almost all functions of a DS system. While no ROMs can be loaded (which would probably end up being the biggest appeal of the tool), the DS DoubleSys performs almost as if you have the handheld right on Apple’s device. Users can manipulate a DS in a 3D environment, change the color, and even go through the system OS. The developer is looking to implement new features in a future update such as the being able to use the microphone, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Nintendo were to shut down the project in the very near future.
