This year's AIAS (Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences) Awards have been given away, and Gears of War walks away as the winningest game with 8 awards. Gears snagged awards for animation, art direction, best male performance (go John Di Maggio!), visual engineering, and online gameplay. Gears of War also came away with three game of the year awards including action/adventure game of the year, console game of the year, and the coveted overall game of the year. It's not like Gears of War really needs any more accolades heaped onto it, but we're sure CliffyB and the gang are happy about the results. If they haven't already, Epic needs to start shopping for a bigger trophy case.

Just remember Cliffy, friends don't let friends drive krunk.

[Thanks, Arno]

1. Very nice. I bet the guys at Epic are feeling pretty good these days. It's well deserved as GOW is an awesome game.

3. I can't believe I am saying this, but I'm actually getting bored with gears multiplayer. I enjoyed playing player matches with friends for a long time, but I find myself wishing we could track our stats. I hope they introduce a new gameplay mode similar to the halo party system, and just leave the word "ranked" off of it.

4. Boog, I don't blame you. Multiplayer on GeoW is pretty.... lackluster IMHO. It wears off fast.

5. GoW FTW, literally.

6. If you play with friends, its the best. But yeah, here's hoping that they improve the structure of the MP in the future. Congrats on the awards though.

9. Are we sure the best male performance is for Marcus and not for Augustus "Cole Train" Cole? If so, Terry Tate got shafted.
