Man. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G just keeps on raking all those prizes and milestones in Japan, doesn't it? Here's hoping all that gets backed up when it finally releases on western shores.

The latest award of MHP 2nd G? It just won the Double Platinum prize in SCEJ's PlayStation Awards 2008 ceremonies where developers and publishers were given huge pats on the backs for their excellent PSP, PS3, and/or PS2 games. The event was held just earlier in Japan.

To give you an idea of how huge Capcom's achievement is for bagging double platinum with MHP 2nd G, there's also a PlayStation Award category for Platinum. And guess what? No one was awarded a Platinum prize. All other winners got the next best thing though - the Gold award.

Here's the full list:

Double Platinum Prize (2-3 million copies sold):

• Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP) - Capcom - March 27, 2008
