Cliffy B recognized for 2006 contributions

Posted Dec 20th 2006 1:00AM by Dustin Burg
Filed under: News, Gears of War

It's that time of year when Game Daily's yearly Game Industry Persons of the Year awards are being announced and look who came in at number four. Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski (Cliffy B) has been honored with the title of number four person of the year. Not only has Cliffy B created the Xbox 360's killer app, launched a new major IP, and proved he can drink anyone under the table, but he has pushed the shooter genre in a whole new direction. We salute you Cliff as you are one rocking dude, but we're still patiently waiting on our Gears patch.

3. your probably right Pitt, although i reckon they work a lot of hours per week, sure i seen an xbox marketplace video 'behind the scene' of Gears of War' or something and Cliff Bleszinski said they work lots of hours, maybe even 100 hours per week or something to get the game finished.

Thats a lot of pizza!

4. Who would win in a fight between Nicole Ritchie and Cliffy B? I think Nicki R might curb stomp him.
