It wasn’t surprising to hear that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves received the Audio of the Year award March 12, 2010, at Moscone Center during the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, CA (USA) following nine nominations prior to the event.

Games were judged by audio industry professionals as well as members of G.A.N.G. (Game Audio Network Guild). Uncharted 2: Among Thieves actually tied with Assassin’s Creed II for the Music of the Year award.

Here is a complete list of 8th Annual G.A.N.G. Awards winners..

Not only does it land on April 6, 2010, but the first paid DLC for Mass Effect 2 finally includes the oft-referenced and even more oft-denied character, Kasumi. There were even screenshots of her rumored existence within the game from Gamescom of last year. At the time, the validity of these were questioned a bit as they waited until closer to the release date to show them off. But now we know the truth. She’s real and she even has her very own dedicated DLC! The first in an undoubtedly long line of paid downloadable content for Mass Effect 2 centers entirely on Kasumi. Heck, it’s even called Kasumi’s Stolen Memory…

NeuroSky, the company that helped make that MindFlex game that was so popular last year, made an appearance at the 2010 Game Developers Conference to show off its stuff. Primarily, NeuroSky is there to show off the MindSet Wave and its application and iPhone developer programs.

The MindSet Wave is NeuroSky’s latest brainwave game controller, and follows in the footsteps of the already available MindSet. It is a headset you wear on your head, and use to control various MindSet Wave compatible games. It’ll be out before Winter, 2010 and cost somewhere between $49 and $99. To get a better idea of what it’ll be like by looking at the previous model, the MindSet, a PC and Mac controller that comes with a NeuroBoy game, a CD with various programs that work with the device, a brainwave visualizer so you can see your mind at work and the MindSet Development Tools so you can make your own games. The original MindSet is more expensive though, costing $199.

Aside from the MindSet Wave, there are also games from other developers there showing how NeuroSky’s brainwave reading technology can be used to enhance the gaming experience…

Instead of roaming around the surface of a planet, the next Red Faction will mostly take place underground. It will borrow atmospheres from the first couple Red Faction games as well as Red Faction Guerrilla. It will still have destructible environments, but this time destroying things will have a greater effect when done in crowded spaces.

The overall impression of this accessory will remind gamers of the Wii remote and nunchuck combo. It will also allow developers to work with similar gaming concepts forged by the Wii and apply them to the superior hardware capabilities of the PS3.

A game is finally coming out that will let actual guitar players leave so-called “Guitar Heroes” weeping, and it’s called Power Gig: Rise of the SixString. SixString, as in it’s played with an actual, six-string electric guitar. Those who thought Guitar Hero and Rock Band were difficult should probably turn away.

Seven45′s developed Power Gig: Rise of the SixString to work with a peripheral that isn’t just a peripheral. Yes, you can plug it into your PS3 or Xbox 360 to play the game, but you can also connect it to an amp and play it like you would any other electric guitar. Nice.

As for the game itself, it sounds pretty promising…
