A2M in the spotlight … for obscure reasons (2)

June 4th, 2007 · by Heri · video games

artificial mind and movement

Recently, Artifical Mind&Movement, aka A2M, a video games company based in Montreal, was nominated for the Canadian new media awards, and the winners were announced last week in Toronto. I didn’t write about it though because MyThum Interactive, an ontarian company, won the award for the category.

Now, FiQ, an association for IT professionals, nominated this week A2M for their OCTAS 2007 award, and Rémi Racine, the A2M CEO, as the personalité de l’année 2006.

I have no idea why A2M was chosen. FiQ refers to The Suite Life of Zack&Cody, which is a Nintendo DS game. But it’s not even listed on the A2M website. IGN describes the game as totally uncreative and ridiculous.

I am thinking that the A2M CEO is a great networker, and has lots of friends at FiQ. It’s clearly not because of A2M’s achievements (because they would have picked Ubisoft Montréal then) or because they are innovating in new media (the A2M website was last updated 9 months ago).
