<a href="http://vindictus.nexon.net"><em>Vindictus</em></a> has hacked its way into the hearts of many players, with its can-do attitude and liberal stance on how many decapitations make your actions morally justified. Apparently, the players aren't the only ones in love with the game, as it has managed to walk away from the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/g-star-2010">G-Star 2010</a> convention with so many awards that the development team can build a house. The 2010 Korean Game Awards taking place on the show floor awarded <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Nexon/">Nexon</a>'s game the grand prize as well as six other awards for excellence.<br />
<br />
The win was a first for <a href="http://www.nexon.net">Nexon</a>, and it was followed by a half-dozen other awards including the Popular Game Award (in the Online Game category) and all four technical creation categories (Game Planning/Scenario, Game Graphics, Game Character, and Game Sound). CEO Seo Min thanked the organizers for the honors as well as <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Vindictus/">Vindictus</a></em> players for making the game such a success. Free-to-play games have come a long way as a whole, but if the bevy of awards is any indication, <em>Vindictus</em> is a cut above the rest.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/11/18/g-star-2010-vindictus-wins-big-for-nexon/">G-Star 2010: Vindictus wins big for Nexon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 18 Nov 2010 19:00:00 EST.

While the latest <a href="http://www.eveonline.com"><em>EVE Online</em></a> expansion, <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/apocrypha/index.html"><em>Apocrypha</em></a>, has hit the main server and the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/10/the-daily-grind-will-you-be-picking-up-the-eve-online-retail-bo/">retail boxes</a> for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a> have reappeared on game store shelves, CCP has been <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/CCP-Wins-Key-Awards-for-bw-14614788.html">busy winning awards</a> for all of their work with <em>EVE</em>.<br /><br />CCP's awards include the <a href="http://www.fvh.is/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=552&amp;Itemid=1">Icelandic Innovation and Knowledge Award</a> from the <a href="http://www.fvh.is/">Association of Businessmen and Economists in Iceland</a> as well as the <a href="http://www.tagonline.org/articles.php?id=358">2009 Top 10 Innovative Technology Companies</a> award from the <a href="http://www.tagonline.org/">Technology Association of Georgia</a>.<br /><br />Both of these awards come from industry peers, a high honor for a company.  CCP isn't going to be resting on their laurels, however, as they have pledged a heavy presence at this year's GDC in San Francisco.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/17/ccp-honored-with-two-awards-for-innovation/">CCP honored with two awards for innovation</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:00:00 EST.
