12 nomination per Uncharted 3 agli Interactive Achievement Awards

La Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences ha reso nota quest'oggi la lista delle nomination in vista dei prossimi Interactive Achievement Awards. Uncharted 3: L'Inganno di Drake è lizza per ben dodici riconoscimenti, tra cui Game of the Year. La concorrenza appartiene ai soliti noti dell'anno che si è appena concluso, ovvero Batman: Arkham City, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword e The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Uncharted 3 riesce a fare meglio di Red Dead Redemption, che lo scorso anno ottenne la nomination per nove differenti premi, ma rimane dietro ad Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, che nel 2010 si accaparrò ben 15 nomination e riuscì a prevalere in 10 categorie.

Portal 2 concorre per dieci nomination, mentre L.A. Noire segue a quota nove. Gli altri titoli ad essere presenti in almeno tre categorie sono Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City e Skyrim, con sei nomination ciascuno.

Sul versante dei publisher Electronic Arts è davanti a tutti con 21 nomination. Sony, grazie al capolavoro di Naughty Dog, si erge in seconda posizione con 18 nomination complessive, mentre Microsoft è a quota 13.

La quindicesima edizione degli Interactive Achievement Awards si terrà il 9 febbraio presso il D.I.C.E. Summit di Las Vegas.
