Skyrim kahmi peli-Oscareita

Bethesdan The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim nousi ylitse muiden viime yönä Las Vegasissa järjestetyssä Interactive Achievement Awards -palkintogaalassa. Roolipeli pokkasi kaikkiaan viisi palkintoa, joiden joukosa on muun muassa koko vuoden paras peli. Myös pelin tarinankerronta ja vaikuttava maailma saivat kiitosta raadilta.

Naughty Dogin Uncharted 3 ja Valven Portal 2 menestyivät nekin ja nappasivat molemmat voiton kolmessa kategoriassa.

Vuoden kasuaalipeliksi valittiin Halfbrickin Fruit Ninja Kinect, kun taas Media Moleculen Little Big Planet 2 nappasi voiton koko perheen pelinä. Toys for Bob -studio puolestaan sai innovaatiopalkinnon pelistään Skylanders Spyro's Adventure.

IAA-palkintoja on usein kutsuttu "peli-Oscareiksi", ja kyseessä onkin yksi vuoden merkittävimmistä palkinnoista. Vuotuinen gaala pidettiin nyt 15. kertaa.

Palkittujen pelien lista löytyy kokonaisuudessaan ohesta.
