Batman: Arkham Asylum wins top award at Bafta Video Game awards

Posted on 20 Mar 2010 at 13:07

Batman: Arkham Asylum scooped the best game at the Bafta Video Game awards held in London.

The UK-developed game is based on the comic books rather than the films, and sees you battle the Joker who's taken over Arkham Asylum, releasing a whole host of super-villains. We loved and called it "the best all-round action game we've played in ages". We can't wait for the sequel.

Uncarted 2: Among Thieves was a big winner, with wins in the action, story, original score and audio use categories. It was widely tipped to win the best game award, but was pipped by Batman.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the UK's second-best selling game of all-time, won the public-voted GAME award.

The Bafta ceremony was also a time to honour one of the video game greats: Shigeru Miyamoto. The creator of Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros was presented with a Bafta fellowship.
