LittleBigPlanet sacks AIAA, wins 8 awards
Last night at the 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards in Las Vegas, Media Molecule's
LittleBigPlanet walked away with 8 awards. Not only did it win both game of the year awards (overall and console), but it also snagged awards for visual engineering, art direction, character performance (gotta love the
Sackboy!), and innovation. Basically, the AIAA just
repeated all of the reasons we loved the game.
Other games that scooped up some AIAA awards include
Left 4 Dead,
Braid,
Super Smash Bros. Brawl and
God of War: Chains of Olympus.
The full list of winners is presented after the break.
