Extra Punctuation: So at time of writing, the winners of the videogame BAFTAs have just been announced. If you're unfamiliar with them, they're the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, the UK's equivalent to the Oscars, except recognizing other media, including videogames - and the day the Academy Awards start recognizing games will be a victory for us all. They're still just called the Film and Television Awards, though, I guess BAFTGA doesn't have the same ring. Maybe you could call them the BAFTIMAs, for Film, Television and Interactive Media, but that may sound too much like a name for the one comically fat prostitute in a fantasy novel whorehouse.
It is good for games to get mainstream recognition, but as always happens when an industry gets together for congratulatory back-slaps and reach-arounds, there's a fair bit of bullshit going on. Three of my own personal top 5, Just Cause 2, Dead Rising 2 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent didn't score a single nomination, but then I was basing my decisions around the amount of fun I had, which may be outside the BAFTA remit. So let's take a selected look at the categories, nominees and winners so I can gloat over how wrong everyone else in the world is.
