Alle AIAS prisvinnere

I forrige uke delte The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) ut sine ettertraktede spillpriser for 2001. Det ble delt ut priser i 29 kategorier, innenfor konsoll- og PC spill.

Det er 5. året, prisene deles ut, og de har fått en meget høy status.

Årets store vinner var Bungie med sin first person shooter Halo til Xbox, som tok fire av de mest ettertraktede prisene for bl.a. beste spill. Grand Theft Auto III tok to priser, mens det superhypa Metal Gear Solid 2 bare tok en pris.
Årets PC spill blev Lionheads Black & White, som forøvrig fik to priser sammenlagt.
