Last night awards were handed out in Britain by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in their second annual celebration of creative innovation and excellence in the video game industry. With big contenders like Bioshock, Crysis and God of War 2 all vying for multiple awards the biggest winner wasn’t one you’d expect. Nintendo took home six different awards- but none went to Twilight Princess. Wii Sports took home awards in the ‘casual’, ‘sports’, ‘gameplay’, ‘innovation’, ‘multiplayer’ and ‘strategy and simulation’ categories. All but one of the awards went to console games– the sole PC award was given to Football Manager 2007 in the ‘PC World Gamer’s award’. Not surprising given that this category is the only publicly voted one, and Football Manager 2007 was the only actual PC game in the running for that award. The PS2 netted more awards than the Xbox 360, with two awards going to Okami and two more for Kratos and God of War 2. Microsoft’s console brought home three, which is only a narrow margin and possibly made up for with the ‘best game’ win by Bioshock. Crackdown netted the ‘action and adventure’ and ‘best use of audio’ categories. The competition for next years’ awards should be intense with titles like Halo 3, GTA IV, Mass Effect, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and more all on their way.
