Uncharted 2: Among Thieves steals 10 awards at the 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards

2009 will soon be remembered of the year when everyone announced they were jumping aboard Nintendo's ship with both Microsoft and Sony announcing motion controllers.

However, it should also be considered the year of "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves."

Taking home a whooping 10 awards from last night's 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards hosted by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences.

The Playstation 3 exclusive and follow-up to the 2007 action-adventure series swept every technical award the academy could provide as well as adventure game of the year and overall game of the year beating out "Assassin's Creed II," "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" in that category.

This is the second consecutive year a Playstation 3 exclusive title has won the overall game of the year award.

Developed by Naughty Dog, Uncharted 2's 10 awards is the most ever awarded to a single game with two more awards than last year's "Little Big Planet" and one more than "Half-life 2" which was awarded nine.
