Keeping up with the tradition of not disappointing this avid fan, Naughty Dog managed to snag multiple coveted awards as voted by the people who most understand the hardships of game design and development: the game developers themselves. As voted in a secret ballot by many peers and somebodies in the biz, the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences unveiled the winners of the prestigious accolades and the ‘top dog’. From our glowing and suggestively titled review,  to our week long debate and voting of our game of the year picks, Uncharted 2 was destined for greatness.

But in modesty there is a solemn sense of clarity. A little modesty. Too much and things tend to get boring. There were other winners. Among them the passionately designed and creatively resonated Batman: Arkham Asylum which earned the #2 spot in our GOTY vote. Winning Rock Steady the award for Outstanding Achievement in Game Design was just one of the things did for mankind, as well as curing the dreaded and infectious disease know as Comicgamesucks Syndrome.
