As if The Sims hasn't had enough awards yet, the most sold PC game of all times has received another one. In the Netherlands the game has just received a TMF Award for Best Game. TMF (The Music Factory, a music channel owned by MTV) gives away TMF awards every year for 9 years now. The show is probably the biggest annual music awards show in the Netherlands, and is broadcasted in over 40 countries this year. The public votes for the winners in all categories. The Best Game category is new this year, and besides the Sims, also Fifa 2004 and Need for Speed: Underground (both games from EA as well) were nominated, but in the end The Sims won.

[Update 23:45] Watching the repeat of the whole show, it looks like it wasn't just The Sims which was nominated, but The Sims Bustin' Out - that's at least what the clips showed (yet it was announced as just "The Sims"). René van der Woerdt from EA Benelux accepted the award on behalf of all Sims. He thanked everybody for all the votes. According to him it's "really cool to accept the first award of Best Game on behalf of Electronic Arts".
