Calgary Achievements
Written by Michael Grills   
Sunday, 09 September 2007

Its been a little quiet in Town from the Video Game side of things, but really, does it ever get that loud? In the interests of promoting our Industry in Calgary I thought I would mention 2 notables.

 

First and this is late but kind of ups the bragging rights is that Games Cafe has had Sally's Salon in the top 10 at real Arcade for over a month. Calgary has Talent.

 

Second and this announcement is more on the ball (only because I Art Directed the game) is Plant Tycoon has made the #2 spot at Big Fish Games.

 

Hopefully we can continue to be quicker to show off Calgary's Accomplishments in the future so that everybody realizes that we are in fact adding to this great industry.

 

I know that there are a few other amazing games coming out of Calgary. Check back here for the scoop when I am allowed to talk about them.

 

Support your Calgary Developers and Buy these Games.
