Awards Victory For Naughty Dog

The 13th Anuual Interactive Achievement Awards were held in Las Vegas yesterday and one game reigned supreme – Uncharted 2. There were 27 catergories in last night’s event and despite Drake & Co not being eligible for 10 of them, Uncharted 2 still walked away with 10 awards – including the coveted Game of the Year accolade.

The AIAS awards recognise excellence in the games industry and also saw Batman: Arkham Asylum and Scribblenauts take 3 awards each, Modern Warfare 2 won 2 and Flower floated away with the Casual Game of the Year prize.

Naughty Dog took to their Twitter account to congratulate the other winners but seemed somewhat stunned at the amount of times their game was being named the winner.
