Call of Duty 4 Cleans Up

The Grammys may be the talk of the day, but the videogame industry had its big night on Saturday. That's when the annual Interactive Achievement Awards were doled out to the biggest and best titles of the year. The big winner: Call of Duty 4, the deservedly awesome first person shooter that, unlike a lot of sequels, keeps getting better with each new number. It took home Game of the Year, and Console Game of the Year.

The big loser: Halo 3, which despite selling plenty of copies was a Spider-Man 3 style ho-hum disappointment - and got clocked at the awards. But word has it from Halo's creators, Bungie, that the acclaimed company's next title will be "totally different."
