Today the The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences held the 17th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards honoring the the year’s finest achievements in video games. They’re considered between the most prestigious awards of the year, as they’re judged by the industry itself.

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, that is already the most awarded video game in recorded history by critics, led nominations with 13 nods.

Not surprisingly, the game brought home the Game of the Year award, together with nine more, and missing only three of the awards it was nominated for, which is as close as a landslide victory as we’ll ever get.
