BRAINPIPE Earns An Ernie!
 
BRAINPIPE Earns An Ernie!
More Accolades For Digital Eel's Newest Game!



Hampstead, NC, 29 April 2009

What's better than winning an award for best audio? Winning two awards!

BRAINPIPE: A Plunge to Unhumanity, the most recent release from well known indie masters Digital Eel, has earned itself an Ernie for best in game audio from Bytten! If you're not familiar with the Ernies we'll let Bytten explain them to you:

"The Bytten Ernie awards reward independent games that stand out of the crowd. Our resident reviewers, Andrew Williams and Steve Blanch, have selected a number of games that they have played in the past twelve months, choosing games that excel in a particular area or games that show originality and deserve recognition."

Bytten (http://www.bytten.com/index.php) is one of the oldest gaming sites specializing in independent gaming news and reviews. We're sure Digital Eel is quite honored to receive recognition from Bytten.

Here's a snippet of what Bytten contributor Steve Blanch had to say in awarding BRAINPIPE: A Plunge to Unhumanity its Ernie:

"Brainpipe is noteworthy as a game not only because of the degree to which the player interprets and utilises the in-game audio during play, but also the quality of the audio itself, which is excellent."

Of course if you missed the big news last month Digital Eel also took home the Excellence In Audio award at the 11th Annual Independent Games Festival held at the Games Developer Conference in San Francisco. This makes the second win in that category for Rich Carlson, Iikka Keranen, and artist Phosphoros, who also won in 2006 for Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space.
