[I]On his return from the DICE Summit, GameCulture's resident developer vet, [B]James Portnow[/B], asks whether the industry's Interactive Achievement Awards have reached their goal of becoming the Oscars of gaming. [/I]

I have long argued our industry’s need for an awards ceremony. We need it for the legitimacy, for the recognition and for the visibility, we need it to prove that we’re no longer just making pastimes for children, and, perhaps most of all, we need it for ourselves, to acknowledge those companies and individuals that strive for greatness. We need it to give ourselves some motive for creation other than pure profit.

At this point many of you are probably already ticking off the plethora of awards ceremonies we already have. Off the top of my head I can rattle off the Golden Joystick Awards, the Game Critics Awards, the Game Developers Choice Awards, the Spike Video Game Awards, just to name a few – and that doesn’t count the indie awards or the plethora of “game of the year” type awards that the various review outlets give out – but we all know that’s not what I mean. We don’t need [I]a[/I] ceremony: we need our Oscars, our Grammys or Emmys. We need an award ceremony that’s acknowledged, for good or ill, as [I]the[/I] award ceremony.

Well, last week the Interactive Achievement Awards were held at DICE. I thought they might be the award ceremony that I was looking for, so I trooped down to find out: Are they our Oscars?
