Recently there have been a few stories on Omikron: The Nomad Soul, in some of the most well-known news establishments in the world. David and co. at Eidos even came close to a Grammy Nomination! Read on…
Well, close, but no cigar… Omikron almost received a nomination in this year’s Grammy Awards. This year debuts the expanded ‘Soundtrack’ category, to include not just movie, television, and instrumental compositions, but video game and Internet tunes as well! So why no nomination you ask? It turns out that Omkiron was not eligible without a seperate soundtrack release. At least we all know that it WOULD have won.

The New York Times‘ JC Herz devoted an entire column to the game including two huge visuals. While she had mixed feeling about aspects of the game (felt “the puppet strings are all too visible at times … the characters are walking props”), the very breadth of the review (she really spent time with the game and describes it vividly) make it a pretty impressive plug nevertheless.
“It’s easy to get lost in ‘Omikron: The Nomad Soul,’ a complex and engrossing adventure for the PC. With beautiful graphics, challenging play and a soundtrack by rock legend David Bowie, the game is a trip through the futuristic city of Omikron.”
