Hideo Kojima to recieve Lifetime Achievement Reward at GDC

Hideo has done it again! It was announced that at this years Games Developers Conference (GDC), Hideo Kojima will be receiving the Life Time Achievement reward. This will be the second one that he will be getting, first one from the MTV Game Awards last year. No doubt he should be getting this again. The work he has put in to create amazing game series such as Metal Gear and Zone of the Enders should be enough reason why, although Metal Gear would of done it for me ;).

Here is what the event director of GDC had to say:

For years, Hideo Kojima s contributions to game development have broken new ground and inspired the community to think about creating games in never-before-imagined ways.

From giving birth to the stealth action game genre to showing game makers how to interact with their players by breaking the fourth wall, Kojima s achievements make him an obvious choice for an award that in previous years has gone to luminaries including Sid Meier, Shigeru Miyamoto, Richard Garriott, Eugene Jarvis, Mark Cerny, Gunpei Yokoi, Yuji Naka and Will Wright.

Kojima will be giving his keynote lecture, “Solid Game Design: Making the ‘Impossible’ Possible” after the awards ceremony of the GDC, which will be on March 26.
