AIAS awards honor the video game world's best
It's not just awards season in Hollywood. The video game world is honoring its best with a series of ceremonies in the first quarter as well.
Last night, the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards took place at the ongoing DICE Summit in Las Vegas, with "Mass Effect 2" walking away with the year's top honors. The title won "Game of the Year" from the organization – while Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, founders of the studio behind the game, were inducted into the AIAS Hall of Fame.
Up next in the award procession is the Game Developer's Choice Awards, which will be presented at next month's Game Developer Conference in San Francisco.
