Nintendogs wins 2 AIAS trophies

Aww.Held at a glamorous Las Vegas location during this year's DICE summit, the 9th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards have seen fit to bestow two sparkling trophies upon Nintendo's hugely popular digital doggie distraction, trophies which have since been buried in the garden somewhere. The game tied with the PS2's Guitar Hero in the Outstanding Achievement in Gameplay Engineering category and got the nod for Handheld Game of the Year.

The rest of the awards list was dominated by God of War (PS2), a title which, interestingly enough, fits the traditional game mold far better than Nintendogs. It's very reassuring to see one of Nintendo's "non-games" have its day and get some meaningful recognition.
