So, over the holidays the great news just kept pouring in. Not only was “Flower” noted as an exceptional downloadable game for the year, we made a few lists for just, in general, favorite game of the year. Which is amazing. With each of our games we try to prove that “downloadable” doesn’t mean “cheap” when it comes to quality of content, so it meant a lot to us that 10 months after its release, you guys still remember “Flower” fondly.

So here’s a roundup of what you might have missed:

Spike TV’s Best Independent Game (video of the acceptance speech can be seen here.)

G4’s Best of 2009: Best Soundtrack

Gamasutra’s 6th Best Game of the Year

This week, Spike TV will be showcasing the nominees for Best Independent Game of 2009.  You can watch a short preview here. In this particular clip, Jenova shows one of our early Flower demos, and explains (hilariously) why it was thrown aside in pursuit of the game Flower eventually became.

These short clips will culminate in a 30 minute special on the nominees which will air this Thursday at 12am, 11pm CST on Spike TV.
