The 12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards held by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences were held on the 19th February, and World of Goo and Braid walked away with an award under their belt each.

While it was LittleBigPlanet which mopped the floor with the competition, taking home 8 victories, World of Goo took home the Outstanding Achievement in Game Design while Braid nabbed Casual Game of the Year.

Read up on all the winners over at the AIAS site.

"Casual"? Really? I'd like to be pleased that it was recognized at all, but this is just a sign that the AIAS still hasn't gotten their act straight.

Anyone up for founding an AVGAS?

Braid's key attraction was its game design and WorldoGoo is one of the most approachable games I know, also great for quick 2-min bursts.
So I'd trade their respective awards if it were me.
