The 11th Annual Interative Achievement Awards have been announced at the 2008 Design Innovate Communicate Entertain (D.I.C.E) summit being held in Las Vegas, and this year first-person shooters took home the most prizes. Activision’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare won the Overall Game of the Year and Console Game of the Year awards, while EA & Valve’s The Orange Box took Best Computer Game and Outstanding Achievement in Game Design awards 2KGames’ Bioshock won Outstanding Achievement awards in Art Direction, Story Development, music, and sound design. All told, each title took home four awards, making a strong year for first-person shooter titles. But, notably, Microsoft’s much-anticipated and much-hyped juggernaut Halo 3 was shut out of all the prizes.
