Super Mario Galaxy was the surprise winner of the biggest prize of the night at the Bafta video game awards, winning best Game of the Year. LittleBigPlanet also got a prize for best Artistic Achievement. And the famous film director Steven Spielberg got an award for his work on Boom Blox for the Nintendo Wii.

Bafta has been giving out gaming awards since 1998, with prizes given to the most artistic, creative and technically advanced games. The 2008 ceremony was delayed until March 2009, to avoid clashing with the Golden Joysticks awards, and to give judges more time to check out the games.

Interesting never heard of them tbh. I like seeing Dead Space get original score and L4D getting multiplayer games are so awesome.
Good choices overall. But wasn't Modern Warfare out in 2007?

good picks.
sounds like a better system then some of the cheese fests we call video game awards we have over here in the US, where gta 4 or the latest halo win almost every category.

if cod4 was in this and was released in 2007, I don't see why wc3/sc shouldn't be in most of those categories.
