It appears that the Academy Of Interactive Arts And Sciences agrees with our opinion, having nominated the Naughty Dog developed PS3 exclusive for a whopping 12 awards.
The final awards will be dished out at the annual DICE summit in Las Vegas on February 9th. Uncharted 3 will be in strong company, with Portal 2, L.A. Noire, LittleBigPlanet 2 and Battlefield 3 also up for multiple awards. Last year's top game was Mass Effect 2, which walked away with the RPG and storytelling gongs.
Jay Mohr will be hosting the awards again, with the entire show streamed online via GameSpot. The full list of categories and nominations are included after the jump.
