Cita:AIAS nominees announced

Nathan Drake and a rather evil super computer (and sometime potato) have topped the nominees for the 15th annual Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) awards.

"Uncharted 3: DrakeÔÇÖs Deception" led this year's nods with 12 nominations, while "Portal 2" got 10. Other multiple award nominees included "L.A. Noire" (with nine), "Batman: Arkham City," "Battlefield 3" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," which all got six.

The awards, one of the more prestigious in the gaming industry, will be handed out on Feb 5 during the D.I.C.E. summit in Las Vegas in a ceremony hosted by actor Jay Mohr. CBS-owned gaming site GameSpot has been named as an exclusive partner and will stream the awards live online.

The complete list of nominees can be found after the break.

Vamos, 12 nominaciones a Uncharted 3 (no me lo esperaba, me gustó bastante más el 2), 10 a Portal 2, 9 a LA. Noire (otro que tampoco me lo esperaba, aunque soy de los pocos que le gustaron) y luego están con 6 cada uno Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3 and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Yo solo diré que Bastion me está gustando muchísimo más de lo que pensaba tras volverme a poner con él pasado un tiempo.


Ms Splosion Man no me chirriaría como mejor juego descargable porque es una pasada para jugar en cooperativo, y la campaña de un jugador está muy mejorada con respecto al primero.
