Game BAFTA winners revealed [X360]

Wednesday March 11, 11:03 AM Game BAFTA winners revealed

The videogame BAFTAs were handed out last night, at what was not quite as glittering a ceremony as was afforded Slumdog Millionaire and co. a month earlier. Not that we’re saying that the great and good of our fabulous pastime aren’t themselves glittering or glamorous, you understand.

Dara O ’Briain was the man with the mic on the night. Entertaining the increasingly inebriated masses and handing out gongs in 15 categories. The winners were not quite as easy to predict as in previous years either. And that makes a pleasant change, even if we don’t necessarily agree with all the judges’ selections. Anyway, see what you make of the list:

BAFTA ONES TO WATCH AWARD
Boro-Toro

Well, you won’t get much, if any kind of argument from us about the first three. CoD4 is vastly superior to its successor, Mario Galaxy may well be the best platform game EVER and, love it or hate it, there’s no denying the brilliant visual style of LittleBigPlanet.

But ropey old Boomblox as best casual game? GRID the best sports game? And scruffy-looking LittleBigplanet wannabe Boro-Toro as the hot prospect for the year ahead? Really? Hmmm...
