The 10th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards was the 10th edition of the Interactive Achievement Awards, an annual awards event that honored the best games in the video game industry during 2006. The awards were arranged by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), and were held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 9, 2007. It was also held as part of the Academy's 2007 D.I.C.E. Summit, and was hosted by stand-up comedian Jay Mohr.[1]
The original nomination package listed "Cellphone Game of the Year", but the finalists were listed for "Mobile Game of the Year". The nomination package also features a genre category of "Casual Game of the Year", but there were not any finalists named for this category. Instead, finalists were listed for "Downloadable Game of the Year", which was not part of the category listing in the rules & procedures.[2][3]
Gears of War received the most nominations and won the most awards, including "Overall Game of the Year". Microsoft Game Studios and Nintendo tied for having the most nominations, with Microsoft winning the most awards. Electronic Arts had the most nominated games, and tied with Microsoft and Nintendo for having the most award-winning games.
Dani Bunten was inducted posthumously into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Nintendo of America founders Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln also became the first recipients of the "Lifetime Achievement Award".[4]
