The Last of Us wins 10 DICE awards, including Game of the Year
The DICE Awards were held last night, and The Last of Us won 10 of the 13 awards it had been nominated for. BioShock Infinite and Plants vs Zombies 2 each won two.
The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences held its 17th annual D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) awards last night, and as you might expect, The Last of Us ran away with it. It won 10 of the 13 awards it was nominated for, including Game Direction, Story, Animation, Art Direction, and Game of the Year. It crowded the field so much, in fact, that only two other games received more than one award.
Those two games were BioShock Infinite and Plants vs Zombies 2. BioShock took Action Game and Original Music Composition, while PvZ won for the Mobile and Casual game categories. Grand Theft Auto 5, which had seven nominations to TLoU's 13, took home a single award for Gameplay Engineering. Check out the full list below, via the official site.

I wish The Last of Us would be ported up to PS4, but I have a feeling that Sony's idea of a "port" here is the version playable via Playstation Now. :(

Yeah, I could see it being the headline title for the PSNow launch.
