The results are now in ? and coming as no surprise to anybody at all, Naughty Dog?s The Last of Us has pretty much cleaned up.

The Last of Us not only won best of shows ? but bagged Best Original Game, Best Console Game, Best Action/Adventure Game, and Best Sound as well. Halo 4 and Dance Central 3 were the Xbox 360 exclusives that garnered awards ? with Halo 4 winning Best Online Multiplayer and Best Action, while Dance Central 3 won Best Social game, and Best Motion game. Predictably, Nintendo?s? Wii U nabbed best hardware. interestingly, though Ubisoft?s incredible looking Watch Dogs wasn?t playable, it did get a special commendation for Innovation ? as well as for graphics, along with Star Wars 1313.
