Depuis maintenant huit ans, lors de la convention du D.I.C.E. ( Design, Innovate, Create, Entertain ) se déroule une remise des prix distribués par l'AIAS ( Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences ). Cette année, c'est God of War qui a été plébiscité.
Précisons que l'absence de Resident Evil 4, succès critique quasi-unanime, s'explique par la volonté de Capcom de ne pas participer à cette festivité. En l'absence du chef d'oeuvre de Mikami, c'est God of War qui récupère les récompenses les plus importantes.
Du côté du jeu PC, Battlefield 2 est le grand vainqueur.
Notons également que Shadow of the Colossus, qui aurait mérité beaucoup mieux, repart avec deux prix : celui de la direction artistique et celui de la technologie visuelle.
Retrouvez ci-dessous la liste complète des prix avec les nommés et en gras le vainqueur :
