Congratulations to all the winners, very close in many categories, which is good to see.
A lot of great games came out of Australia last year and some really made their mark internationally, which is a good thing for the Aussie industry.
Here's to bigger and better things in 2007!
It's awesome to see so many locally made games in the 2007 Top 100 US sales chart. Go Aussies!
