On top of speeches and a few unreleased games being playable, the summit also hosted the 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. A show that definitely strives to be like the Oscars, the awards show honored a variety of games for a long list of categories, such as "Best Multiplayer Game of the Year," "Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack," "Outstanding Achievement in Story Development" and so on.
The big award, as expected, was "Game of the Year" - equivalent to "Best Picture." The nominees surprised few people, with the biggest titles of 2007 being represented: "Bioshock," "Call of Duty 4," "Rock Band," "Super Mario Galaxy" and "The Orange Box."
The overall winner, walking away with four awards total including "Game of the Year" and "Console Game of the Year," was "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
