BAFTA Video Games Awards winners

Seriously, these guys rock for recognizing that games deserve their own awards.


The envelopes have been opened. Pop those champagne corks. And if you got any running bets on this, we'd like a 10% cut for being the people who bring the good news to you guys (Kidding!). These are the proud winners of the British Academy Video Game Awards, the prime examples of innovation, graphic design, gameplay, sound and soundtrack, and good ol' overall pawnage (If you want to see the list of nominees, you can check it out here).

Without further ado, here's the list of winners for this year's British Academy Video Awards:
Snippets from the post-awards party: Agent 47 (losing nominee for Character) attempts to strangle the big winner Loco Roco to death. Other game characters stare longingly at Lara's assets as she climbs a Colossus (suffice to say, the Colossus enjoys it). And LEGO Jar-Jar gets down and dirty on the dance floor, knocking aside all those B-Boys - until he's mowed down by the Ghost Team, to the cheers of all those who hated the guy.

» lmao @ the stupid brits

Those are the games that won awards but out of how many games did they make this decision on? They must not have many games there or they are really stupid. Those stupid tea drinking brits. Since they like tea so much they wouldn't mind me tea bagging them.

Well Golly, does that Sound like a Yank - Speaking English, the langauge that came from England - Bashing the English - In the English language.



Haha



Silly yank.



Are you over weight?



I Agree with you on the games though.

Actually the gamers award was compiled by Readers of a Newspaper called the Sun in the UK.



This publication (the sun) is soley responsible for changing "youth" and

"lad" culture into seething cesspit of mis-information.

It is a pile of Nonense designed to change the way people think - so that they are fickle and stupid. Kind of like some yanks.

It's readers are more interested in footballers wives (we call them WAGS - Wanabee wives and girlfriends) shopping habbits and personal relationship problems than they are with real political, technological, society based or any news.



I HATE THE SUN.



So please yank, Dis the suns readers, not all of us.



some of us care.

(where was oblivion in this list?)

silly brit...your nose growing bigger and bigger? Someone smacked the queen again? Is prince charles and his two kids running amuk again? What ever will we do...



Oh dear oh dear...once again, the brits are "trying" to make logical decisions by sticking there big noses into something they don't know anything about.



For INNOVATION:

Dr Kawashima's BRAIN TRAINING: How Old Is Your Brain?



I'll agree here as this game does reach out to many ages including those that play GTA only and feel that that game is the greatest...heh...



For ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT: Shadow of the Colossus



Completely DISAGREE! This game has same 3d graphics as your next game on the shelf. Loco Roco would've fit in this catagory much better or even Viewtiful Joe.



For CHARACTER: Loco Roco in LocoRoco



Best character, well...everyone has there own opinion and this character has his moments. I'm sure this was a tough decision...honestly.



For STRATEGY: Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War



Mmmm...well, I thought Civ4 should've taken the cake here or even Age of Empires 3 at least, but oh well.



For CASUAL & SOCIAL: Buzz! The Big Quiz



Never heard of it...



For SCREENPLAY: Psychonauts



Another catagory that was NOT looked into better



For Children: LocoRoco



I'll definitely give this award to children.



For GAMEPLAY: Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy



This decision was a bad choice. The game is great indeed, but not worthy of this award. Dead Rising offers better gameplay and more freedom when moving, GRAW has much better gameplay...this paper shouldn't even have touched games.



For SIMULATION: The Movies



Um...wheres Nintendogs??? Much better simulation than the Movies...



For MULTIPLAYER: Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach



Now THIS is a JOKE!!! This game is one of the most HORRIBLE online games out there with a terrible battle system. Yes, I know its based off the rules of the board game, however, the board game doesn't always throw misses.



For ACTION & ADVENTURE: Shadow of the Colossus



A better award for this title



For TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter



This catagory is a tough one to vote on, however, I'll give them the thumbs up on this decision



For SPORTS: Fight Night Round 3



This game definitely took people by surprise. Excellent choice.



For ORIGINAL SCORE: Tomb Raider: Legend



The music was nice in this game, however, so was the music in Spyro the Dragon, and Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins. Another catagory wasted on something that wasn't looked into.



For SOUNDTRACK: Guitar Hero



This is a joke...



For AUDIO: Electroplankton



Hmm...an Audio award...pretty broad don't cha think???



And the BEST GAME award goes to Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter



This would be a tough choice for a best game award.



And THE GAMER'S AWARD (voted by "The Sun" readers) goes to 24: The Mobile Game



The Sun...who the hell is reading you??? 24: THE MOBILE GAME??????????



Stick to what you are better at...criticising others and attempting to make yourselves look better when really all you are doing is just making bigger asses of yourself!



Why teabag them when we can potato sack them!!!

How about you just take your fat American finger sausages off the keys and go eat a hamburger so we can all be spared your little brains attempt at humour.



You should stick to what your best at sitting on your couch with a soda pop in one hand, a cheese burger in the other, shoveling food into your overweight head killing all your braincells and watching american idol whilst wishing you were british so you could have some intelligence and culture with a country that has some dignity and isnt known worldwide to be the sespit of earth.



PS. your obese

I don't think ANYONE would want to be british. All british people have really bad hygene. They never brush their teeth and the women there never shave under their arms or anything. British people look like they have been hit in the mouth with a hammer. lmfao!

Well i know NO ONE would want to be American. americans are really fat and only eat fast food also they are stupid and ignorant. Americans only eat hamburgers and get bombed by talibanies. American peoplle look like the have been pumped full of lard coated in grease then developed a severe case of acne covering their fat greasy heads in filthy red spots of puss which probably know more about maths+ {any topic which requires any knowledge ever } then any american in the world ever could everknow.



PS. im not surprised you are talking crap you probably have now resorted to slamming the keyboard with your fat floppy stumps which you would probably call hands to try and devolop a sentence. Unless you are using some type of typing stick

by pfft - 2006-10-06 09:55
» Funny.

Except i'm Canadian you dumbass. You say the british are smart? lmfao. If they were so smart they would known how to brush their teeth. What is the problem? No dentists over there? Go sip on your tea and for once, take a shower. I bet all the british smell like ass & feet.

by heaven forbid - 2006-10-06 21:30
» erm, what?

If the Brits are some crap then when the **** do you dumb ass americans and your dumb ass president come crawling to us every time you get yourselves into a p***ing contest with some 3rd world country or other?



You yank pricks depend on us Brits for so much it's untrue so take your fascist opinions and your fake silicone whores and shove them up your fat bloated ass.

by Homer Simpson (a yank by the way) - 2006-10-06 21:36
» erm

I'm so smart, S M A R doh!!!

by Peace - 2006-10-07 00:28
» Why the hate?

Why the hate for the British & Americans for? I'm British but i'm not dumb as I know that not all Americans are overweight and not all British people have bad hygene.



And to #13 actually WE depend on America so it get your facts straight.

Unfortunatly, its the little kids that create problems for us all. Yeah, I should've been smart by just posting my opinions on the award decisions, so I apologize on that one.



I do find it funny however how Brits use the same jokes to Americans and vice versa...we all need to grow up (including myself).

"the women there never shave under their arms or anything."



Virtually all british women shave. Clearly someone that has never traveled out of the states.
