Mega64 Goes GDC, GRAW, OMGWTF

ico.jpg We mentioned this briefly earlier in the week, but we were delighted that the Mega64 guys showed some spectacularly funny Season 2 previews (including some totally great Luigi's Mansion and Ico sketches) at the Game Developers Choice Awards [UPDATE - just noticed GameDev.net has a nice pictorial awards write-up] in San Jose last week - we also got to say hi to them, and were oddly more fanboy about them than when meeting any game creators.

As Dr. Poque notes on his blog: "The Shadow of the Colossus/Ico team thanking us in their acceptance speech was one of the best moments of my entire life. I'm still glowing after it." You can see a tiny, tiny teaser for the Ico sketch in the Mega64 Season 2 trailer on their official site - though the fake Season 2 trailer is possibly better, haw.

Finally, on the newly released Mega64 front - Xbox 360 Live has these for download, but YouTube also has them - the Mega64 guys' Crosscom promotional trailers, in two parts, for Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. More great stuff, and as far as we're concerned, these people still need to be given a cable TV show, like, yesterday.
