The Academy of Interactive Arts and Science’s thirteenth annual awards recently took place in Las Vegas. The awards were voted on by industry professionals who are part of the academy and, according to IGN, are considered to be among the most prestigious awards ceremonies for interactive entertainment.<\/p>\n
Predictably perhaps Naughty Dog’s 2009 PS3 exclusive Uncharted 2: Among Thieves cleaned up, taking home ten awards including Game of the Year. Other winners included Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum.<\/p>\n
