Though we’re trying to maintain our composure, we’re over the moon to be nominated for the New Media Age Effectiveness Awards 2009, for Capcom Europe’s ‘Become Street Fighter‘ interactive online game.

Every year the NMAs recognise innovative companies who exemplify usability, accessability and excellence in developing and promoting new media across the UK. Past winners have included Paul McCartney, Carling and Viagogo. We had a tonne of fun working on ‘Become Street Fighter’, which allows you to morph your face onto your favourite characters and produce a video of you fighting against other characters to share with your friends. We worked with 15secondTV, and got to live up to our childhood dreams of working with the Street Fighter franchise. Check out the game at www.becomestreetfighter.com

It may seem like we haven’t been working on anything apart from Watchmen recently but there have a been a number of other projects keeping the studio very busy. One that has got all of us excited is a viral application for, yes, Street Fighter IV.

Capcom has resurrected the classic franchise and we have been lucky to have the opportunity to work with them to create Become Street Fighter! The site is designed to capture the attention of the original franchise fan base whilst draw the imagination of new, younger game players online.

It was a mean feat but we did it. Give us a short deadline and we will still come back with an exceptional site. We had four weeks to turnaround the new international site for MotoGP (out October 24th) – and that includes seven local language versions and a full screen embeddable trailer too.
