[ALL] Os melhores de 2008 segundo a AIAS

Os melhores de 2008 segundo a AIAS



A Academia das Artes e Ciências Interativas (AIAS) é uma organização que vem ganhando poder há anos. Não passava de um grupo de estudantes, no começo, mas agora parece que a coisa está diferente.

Eles fecharam uma parceria com a International Game Developers Association (IGDA) este ano para promover, pela primeira vez, uma premiação conjunta que tem tudo para se tornar o grande Oscar dos jogos. Conheça a Interactive Achievement Awards (IAA).

Hoje mesmo, a AIAS anunciou todos os finalistas da premiação, listados logo abaixo para o seu deleite/susto. São dezenas de títulos espalhados em 29 categorias diferentes. O jogo mais indicado foi LittleBigPlanet, com 10 nomeações diferentes variando desde "Melhor Jogo de Família" até o cobiçado "Melhor Jogo do Ano". Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead e Metal Gear Solid 4 vêm logo em seguida, com respectivamente 9, 8, 8 e 7 aparições.

Abaixo segue a lista completa da 12ª IAA. São muitos nomes, com certeza, mas todos os 14 mil associados da AIAS e da IDGA terão um voto em cada categoria. Vai falar que isso não tem importância?
