Nathan surveys his new trophy cabinet
Last night, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2 won five awards at the Game Developers Choice Awards (you know, the Oscars of games). That’s…uh…half of the awards that go to games, including the Game of the Year Award. There are three categories that go to a person (that I didn’t include in the ten), and I don’t think Nathan Drake can be nominated. Yeah. (So, basically, if you haven’t played it, you ought to.)
Other winners include thatgamecompany’s Flower, 5th Cell’s Scribblenauts, Runic Games’ Torchlight (the award is “better than a leg lamp,” according to them) and Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum. A full list of winners, including special awards, is below.
