Videogame BAFTA's


Recommended Posts

As some of you will know, across the pond here in the UK we have the BAFTA’s (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and tonight is the videogame BAFTA’s where everyone from all corners of the gaming industry gets dressed to their finest and dish out some prestigious awards.

One of the most if not the most important and sought after award is the “Best Game of 2009″. The nominees for this award are as follows:

* Assassin’s Creed 2

* Batman Arkham Asylum

* Fifa 10

* Uncharted 2 Among Theives

* Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2

* Left 4 Dead 2

All are top-notch games that came out in 2009 and in their own way deserve the top spot. But there can only be one winner, and that winner will be revealed tonight… Did you vote? You should have!

The one and only Shigeru Miyamoto will also be attending the event to receive the Academy Fellowship.

Not only that but other large names in the industry such as Peter Molyneux and Hideo Kojima will also show their faces among the other start studded attendees.

It sure will be a night to remember.

Catch the fun live from 8:45PM here: http://www.bafta.org/awards/video-games/

May the best game win…

I linked to that because I thought it sums it up quite nicely. And I decided to make a topic for those who won't be watching it live (so a Neowin instant news feed, if you will) and for general chat.

So...who will win? (See my alliteration there?)

I hope Batman Arkham Asylum takes it.

MW2 better not win best game.

Why shouldnt it?

It has decent graphics, a solid single-player storyline and the multi-player hasnt been beaten yet (although BFBC2 may trump it in the coming months / years). Millions of people bought the game, and overall, it has been a success - Infinity Ward put in a huge amount of effort into it and they deserve that award in my opinion.

Because it's a franchise.

It shouldn't deserve it for that as well.

I'm with Batman: AA winning it.

Rocksteady did one previous game, before turning out a game that was in every since of the word, flawless in it's execution. According to Wikipedia: The game received extremely high praise from critics, earning a 92% average on Game Rankings, a game aggregator. The game also holds a Guinness World Record for 'Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever', with an average score of 91.67 from reviewers. Several awards were given to Arkham Asylum, including a Spike Video Game Award. A sequel, presently unnamed, was announced at the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards.

It deserves it. MW2 was just a rehash of old elements.

because it's cool to hate on CoD, kinda like how it was cool to hate on EA (but now its cool to hate on activision)

so based on that logic i guess godfather 2 shouldn't have won best film at the academy awards, because it was a sequel? and no way uncharted 2 will too i guess...

MW2 was a solid game, more then that. i loved it. played the **** outta it for three-four months.

I'm not hating on MW2 because it's cool to!.

I had the game, played it alot for a couple months, then sold it just before battlefield 2.

Single player was fun(but short) in MW2, and while multiplayer was great, COD4 and WAW beats it.

Batman, and uncharted are better games....in my opinion.

I kinda hoped that UC2 would win Best Game but I'm happy Batman did- at least it's not Modern Warfare 2...

Batman was my choice, so glad they won and Modern Fail 2 / Uncharted of War 2 didn't :D

I just hope they aren't rushing AA2 and spoil what they have!

I'm glad Batman won. But it wasn't a surprise they did with them being a British studio.

Best Online Game: FIFA 10

Must have been a slow year for online games :).

Cool to see that Batman: AA won. Now I feel even more ashamed for not having played it. Also happy to see Uncharted 2 win best audio, as the voice acting in that game was quite superb.
