AIAS Winners Announced

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 10, 2006 @02:05AM 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.

From TFA:
For those who are wondering about Resident Evil 4, we reiterate that Capcom did not enter the game, so it wasn't eligible.
This isn't exactly true. The AIAS requires that publishers pay a membership fee in order for their games to be considered for these awards. Several publishers, including Capcom and Majesco, have (for whatever reason) refused to pay; as a result, their games are ineligible.

I wish the game press would be clearer about this when discussing the AIAS.
