14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards
The 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards was the 14th edition of the Interactive Achievement Awards, an annual awards event that honored the best games in the video game industry during 2010. The awards were arranged by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences and were held at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada on. It was also held as part of the Academy's 2011 D.I.C.E. Summit, and was hosted by stand-up comedian Jay Mohr.
The craft award for "Outstanding Achievement in Game Design" was not offered this year along with the award for "Portable Game Design". Only one award for "Outstanding Achievement in Story" would be offered instead of having separate awards for "Original Story" and "Adapted Story". While "Downloadable Game of the Year" was not listed on the rules & procedures, it was featured on the submission form; however, no finalists were named for the category.
Mass Effect 2 won "Game of the Year", while Red Dead Redemption received the most nominations and won the most awards. Sony Computer Entertainment had the most nominations and tied with Electronic Arts for having the most nominated games. The two companies also tied Rockstar San Diego for winning the most awards, with Electronic Arts and Sony having the most award-winning games. God of War had two award-winning titles during this ceremony, with God of War III winning "Outstanding Achievement in Animation", and God of War: Ghost of Sparta winning "Portable Game of the Year".
BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka & Greg Zeschuk were inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Bing Gordon, former Chief Creative Officer of Electronic Arts, received the "Lifetime Achievement Award". Bill Budge, a game designer for the Apple II, received the "Pioneer Award".
