The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences vient d’attribuer à Las Vegas ses prix récompensant les meilleurs jeux de l’année 2002. Electronic Art est le grand gagnant de la cérémonie grace notamment à BF1942 qui obtient les prix de Jeu de l’Année, Jeu Vidéo de l’Année, meilleure Innovation dans le Jeu Vidéo et meilleur Gameplay Online.
Cependant, le jury a jugé qu’un jeu avait beau être le meilleur du monde, le plus innovateur et posséder le meilleur gameplay, ca n’en faisait pas pour autant le meilleur FPS puisque c’est Medal of Honor qui remporte la palme.
Les autres FPS récompensés sont Metroid Prime, meilleur FPS Console, et MoH : Frontline, meilleure bande son.[–SUITE–]
