Last nigh BAFTA held their Video Game Awards. I think it's the second year of these awards and this year's big winner was Wii Sports. It is a very simple, very playable game. Even my parents can play (and enjoy playing) it. Here's the list of winners and nominees:
- Action and Adventure: Crackdown (Realtime Worlds, Microsoft, X360)
- Artistic Achievement: Okami (Clover Studio, Capcom, PS2)
- Best Game: BioShock (2K Boston/2K Australia, 2K Games, PC, X360)
- Casual: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Gameplay: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Innovation: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Multiplayer: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Original Score: Okami (Clover Studio, Capcom, PS2)
- Sports: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Strategy and Simulation: Wii Sports (Nintendo, Wii)
- Story and Character: God of War II (SCE Santa Monica, SCE, PS2)
- Technical Achievement: God of War II (SCE Santa Monica, SCE, PS2)
- Use of Audio: Crackdown (Realtime Worlds, Microsoft, X360)
- BAFTA Ones to Watch Award: Ragnarawk (Voodoo Boogy)
- The PC World Gamers Award: (Public Online Voting) - Football Manager 2007 (Sports Interactive, Sega, PC)
- Academy Fellowship: Will Wright, creator of The Sims
These results should help sales of the Nintendo Wii consoles, which comes with a copy of Wii Sports. I'm so behind on my game playing. I'm playing Doom 3 on PC at the moment but can't wait for Lego Star Wars to be released on the Wii, I loved it on PS2 and PC.
