One of the most important events in the UK gaming calendar, the British Academy Video Game Awards, has come and gone for another year.
The star studded event, held in London's Park Lane Hilton Hotel, recognised the achievements of the video games industry over the past twelve months.
Despite being one of the most heavily nominated titles, initial favourite Assassin's Creed Brotherhood went away with only one award.
Instead it was the action thriller game Heavy Rain which scooped the most awards, taking home three of the coveted BAFTA masks.
Stars in attendance included actor Sir Ben Kingsley, former boxer Joe Calzaghe and comedian Dara O'Briain, who played host at the ceremony.

Holy shit, Ben Kingsley
Awwww yeah! Heavy Rain showing cinematics whose BOSS!
Ben Kingsley, as in from Schindler's List? God [i]damn[/i] that's awesome.
dara o'briain is a magnificent bastard
I <3 Dara.
Mass Effect 2 best game, I agree.
Oh look, no Call of Duty mentioned in the video!!!!!!!!!!
But Heavy Rain really can't be considered a game.
Heavy Rain was neat as a concept, but fell flat as an actual game. The story was also incredibly generic, poorly written and had tons of plot holes in my opinion.

:colbert:
That thing was filled with SO many plot holes.
Yay for Mass Effect 2 winning!
Sweet Mass effect Deserves to win awards.
'Grats to Mass Effect 2, it certainly deserved it.
Shame Ben Kingsley starred in the Uwe Bolle Dungeon Siege movie.
Shame it was made too, I fucking loved Dungeon Siege.
I'm glad ME2 one, but I'm kinda scared about what Bioware are doing with Dragon Age II and how they're treating the community. I hope it doesn't affect ME3.
ME2's a decent game, yeah, but I don't think it deserved GOTY (shittier story than ME1 that didn't really go anywhere, boring linear gameplay)
Then again, we haven't had any really great games released in the past year.

What are you talking about? ME2 had a great story, but I do agree on the linear gameplay though.

All that happened in the story was you killed the collectors. Woo hoo.
I'll say that the character stories/interactions were a big improvement over ME1, but the overall main story of the game lacked any real sense of importance compared to the events of ME1. Also, human reaper.

Ben Kingsley, as in from In the Name of the Kind: Dungeon Siege tale?

Let's not get all crazy and insinuate that CoD is a good game. We wouldn't want people to get the wrong impresssion.
CoD?
Ah yes Call of Duty 1.
(This is why you specify which one your talking about)
Mass Effect 2 won? It's like I'm literally the only one who hated both of the games.
That's not saying they're bad, I just don't like them.

You're not the only one. I didn't think they were too great in general though.

Agreed

When console kiddies talk about how "totally COOL COD IS!!!" they're never, ever referring to CoD 1 and 2. The majority of them barely even know those games exist; they were PC oriented. Also, they didn't have "SUPER AWESOME KILLSTREAKS AND WEED LOGOS LOL!"

I'm not a big fan of the whole science-fiction setting, and doesn't interest me too much, but the game is still amazing and very polished.
