HandsomeDead Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 And the winner is... Portal 2 won Best Game at last night's British Academy Video Game Awards. Valve's comedy puzzle adventure was also the biggest winner of the night, taking home three gongs, the others being for Design and Story.Portal 2's chief rival and last year's role-playing sensation, Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, didn't win any awards despite being nominated in five categories. Uncharted 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution also went home empty-handed. EA and DICE's Battlefield 3 won the public vote, taking home the GAME Award of 2011. It also won BAFTAs for Online Multiplayer and Audio Achievement. In a big night for British studios, Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham City was named the best Action game, Creative Assembly's Total War: Shogun 2 won Strategy (the third year in a row for the series), Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet 2 won the Family and Game Innovation categories and Rare's Kinect Sports 2 took home the award for Sports and Fitness. Here's the full list of winners: Action: Batman: Arkham City Artistic Achievement: Rayman Origins Audio Achievement: Battlefield 3 Best Game: Portal 2 Debut Game: Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Design: Portal 2 Family: LittleBigPlanet 2 Game Innovation: LittleBigPlanet 2 Mobile & Handheld: Peggle HD Online - Browser: Monstermind Online - Multiplayer: Battlefield 3 Original Music: LA Noire Performer: Mark Hamill, for The Joker in Batman: Arkham City Sports/Fitness: Kinect Sports 2 Story: Portal 2 Strategy: Total War: Shogun 2 BAFTA Ones to Watch Award: Tick Tock Toys GAME Award of 2011: Battlefield 3 No Skyrim. I'm pretty bloody surprised at that. I'm happy Portal 2 did so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I watched this last night because I'm poor and cant afford to go out. Notch's speech was funny, the only version of minecraft I've touched is the android version and I didn't understand that, but it made me glad he won. I was moaning on twitter that there wasn't enough variety in the nominees, there's a bit when you get to the less 'important' ones, but generally it was the same 7 or so games battling it out for best graphics, best game, best sound effects. Also apparently Rare are back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
