Halo 3 Wins Visual Effects Award

Gamedaily.biz reports that Halo 3 may have lost out to the likes of BioShock, Call of Duty 4 and Portal in previous award shows, but the game has been honored with a visual effects award from the Visual Effects Society.

Montreal-based visual effects and animation studio damnfx, which contributed over 20 minutes of key-frame character animation to the cinematic sequences in Microsoft's Halo 3, announced that cinematics director CJ Cowan and his team at Bungie Studios have won an award from the Visual Effects Society (VES) for Best Real Time Visuals in a Video Game.
