BAFTA Video Game Winners
October 24, 2007 | by Christopher Nickson
Wii is the big winner as the British gaming industry celebrates.
What was the best game of the year? You might have your favorite, but according to the judges who gave it the BAFTA award last night, it was the first-person shooter with a twist Xbox title, Bioshock.
Although game awards ranged across platforms, Nintendo’s Wii definitely took home the honors as a console, winning for Sports, Innovation, Gameplay, Multiplayer and Strategy and Simulation. By contrast, Sony’s troubled PS3 went home empty-handed.
Crackdown for Xbox 360 was named best game in Action and Adventure and for Use of Audio, while God of War, also for PS2, won for Story and Character and Technical Achievement. A third PS2 title, Okami, walked away with the titles for Artistic Achievement and Original Score.
The student title Ragnarawk, developed in the Dare to Be Digital program, was named One ToWatch.
Most awards were voted for by judges. But in time-honored fashion, there was one where the decision was left up to the public. The PC World Gamers Award went to Football Manager 2007.
