Its no surprise to me or anyone who has played the masterpiece that is the PlayStation 3 Exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, that it has been cleaning up the awards in the last few months. Now Naughty Dog’s trophy cabinet just got 10 more awards to add to it this week after the 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in Las Vegas during DICE 2010 this week.
The event, hosted by stand-up comedian Jay Mohr, brought together the main men from the gaming industry to award them for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the medium.
As in the BAFTA’s earlier this month, Uncharted 2 cleaned up in most categories, taking 10 Awards which includes Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction, Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering, Outstanding Achievement in Original Story and Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design.
Personally, I was also glad to see that last years surprise hit and a personal favorite of mine, Batman: Arkham Asylum received 3 awards, Outstanding Achievement in Game Design, Outstanding Achievement in Story – Adapted and Outstanding Character Performance (Joker).
Anyway, here is the full list of the winners:
