Batman Wins Bafta!
The British Academy of Film & Television Arts awards (or “Baftas”) are like the UK’s Oscars & Emmy’s combined, at least as far as this American who’s never been across the pond can surmise. Something I was unaware of was that in addition to Baftas for Best Film or Best Actress in a Television Series, there’s an entire wing of Baftas devoted to video games. Pretty cool.
Here’s who won what for what at the 2010 Baftas:
- Best Game: Arkham Asylum
- Best Gameplay: Arkham Asylum
- Gamer’s Choice: Call of Dury: Modern Warfare 2
- Best Action – Uncharted 2
