Awards

		Age of Booty was a finalist in two categories in GameSpot’s E3 2008 Editors’ Choice Awards, Best Downloadable Game and Best Strategy Game. If there’d been a “Best Downloadable Strategy Game” category we’re sure we’d have swept it!
		Age of Booty is IGN’s Best Strategy Game of 2008! “Take a former Bungie multiplayer developer, mix in some pirates and throw it all on XBLA, and you’re bound to have a winner on your hands.” Now we have yet another award for our “Wall of Booty.”
