The 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards was the 11th edition of the Interactive Achievement Awards, an annual awards event that honored the best games in the video game industry during 2007. The awards were arranged by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS), and were held at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 8, 2008. It was also held as part of the Academy's 2008 D.I.C.E. Summit, and was hosted by stand-up comedian Jay Mohr.[1]
Only one award for "Outstanding Character Performance" was offered instead of separate male and female awards. "Action/Adventure Game of the Year" and "First-Person Action Game of the Year" were replaced with "Action Game of the Year" and Adventure Game of the Year". "Strategy Game of the Year" and "Simulation Game of the Year" have been merged into one "Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year" category. "Fighting Game of the Year" and "Children's Game of the Year" did not have finalists named in either of these categories.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was named the winner for "Overall Game of the Year", and was tied with BioShock and The Orange Box[n 1] for winning the most awards. BioShock received the most nominations. Sony Computer Entertainment published the most nominees and tied with Electronic Arts for having the most nominated games. Electronic Arts has published the most wins, as well as the most award-winning games.
Michael Morhaime, co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, was inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Ken Kutaragi founder of Sony Computer Entertainment, and the "Father of the PlayStation", received the "Lifetime Achievement Award".[2]
