AIAS Nominees Announced
It's awards show time, and The Academy Of Interactive Arts & Sciences has announced their nominees for the 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. BioShock walked off with the most nominations with 12. Have you played it? It's pretty good. It was nominated for Overall Game of the Year along with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy and The Orange Box. Very diverse selection. Nice.
The ceremony will be held during the D.I.C.E. Summit on February 7 at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. Apparently it's being hosted by Jay Mohr, though, so I guess it can't be all good. Oooh, I wonder what Ken Levine's going to wear?
