14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards: Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain Clean Up

The 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada las night.

Though not winning the coveted "Game of the Year", Red Dead Redemption, by far my favorite game in 2010, cleaned up with 5 awards: Outstanding Achievement In Art Direction, Outstanding Achievement In Gameplay Engineering, Outstanding Achievement In Character Performance, Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction, and Action Game of the Year.

Mass Effect 2 took the "Game of the Year" award, as well as Outstanding Achievement In Story, and Role-Playing/Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year.

Heavy Rain, my second-favorite videogame for 2010, took home Outstanding Achievement In Visual Engineering, Outstanding Innovation in Gaming and Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition.

I wish I could check out Limbo as well, as it was awarded with Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design and picked up the Adventure Game of the Year award. Unfortunately I have no XBox 360.
