AIAS Winners Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the a-winner-is-you dept.

Next Generation has the results from the Interactive Achievement Awards, one of the most respected accolades a game can receive. God of War came away very, very well from the event. If you're interested, you should know that starting in 2007 the AIAS may be televised in a collaboration with Dick Clark Productions. Some of the given awards: "Game of the Year: God of War, PC Game of the Year: Battlefield 2, Console Game of the Year: God of War, Outstanding Innovation in Gaming: Guitar Hero, Outstanding Achievement: Animation: God of War, Outstanding Achievement: Art Direction: Shadow of the Colossus, Outstanding Achievement: Soundtrack: Guitar Hero" Just a little more respectable than a SpikeTV award.

    It's Prince Of Persia with added breasts and all the style surgically removed along with the decent platforming controls in order to make way for more fighting.

    Whether or not that's a bad thing is up to you, but I didn't like it very much.

    but all it looks like it running around trying to wack over sized monsters in glowie spots...

    But it does it with style :) It's actually a very fun game, and when you play it everything feels put together well. Not a lot of loose ends.

    Umm.... That was shadow of the Colossus. http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-974 72/Site/

    This is god of war: http://us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-97399/S ite/main.asp

    I've played through both, and enjoyed them both. God of war has a better camera. Both had some great boss battles, tight controls, and a lot of fun.
