2002 Front Line Award Winner

As games have become more and more sophisticated over the years, so have the development tools used to make them. The Front Line Awards recognize those software and hardware companies whose tools enable faster and more efficient game creation for advancing the state of the art.

The Front Line Awards honor the year's best development hardware and software for programming, art, audio, hardware, and game components. While a great many considerations go into determining the winners, innovation is the real name of the game.

Products are nominated in all categories by Game Developer magazine's readers and other game professionals. Eligible categories for finalists and winners include programming, art, audio, hardware, and game components. A distinguished panel of industry-leading professional game developers specializing in the fields relevant to each product category select finalists and winners based on criteria such as utility, innovation, value, and ease of use.
