Published by Microsoft, the game is available for the Xbox 360 game console.

Additionally, Chris Rickwood has been nominated by the Game Audio Network Guild in the category of Best Audio – Other for his work on Adult Swim’s “Nine Billion Miles From Earth” and Cartoon Network’s “Grim’s Downfall.” Winners will be announced on February 21st at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

Currently, Chris Rickwood is working on several online titles for Hi-

Rez Studios and Cartoon Network. His previous work can be heard on

over 20 games for Cartoon Network New Media, several PC games including Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Civil War: Bull Run, and The Apprentice: Los Angeles, and other gaming mediums such as mobile phones and video slot machines.
