'Monaco' Takes Indie Game Grand Prize

Monaco, a sneaky four player game inspired by heist films, swiped the prestigious grand prize at the Independent Game Festival Awards. Previous winners include Braid, Castle Crashers and World of Goo.

By winning the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, developer Pocketwatch Games also earns a $22,500 check, not to mention some awesome press for a game that should hit DLC services soon.
