[News] The BAFTA Game Awards

Might as well shunt them into their own little corner so people can't whine about them being excluded.

Incredible lol at "Best Game" not being the same as the "Gameplay" award.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually would say that, yes. It's more apparent when you think of it from a genre perspective: the reason people still play Starcraft is because they think it has the best mechanics of the RTS genre, despite it being surpassed in terms of graphics, sound, plot, atmosphere, etc.

So I guess my problem is that there's an overall "best" at all, when I don't think you can compare genres that easily. Certainly not without an attempt at establishing some criteria.

Also: even if I concede your point, well, it's not like any of the "gameplay" nominations have sufficiently poor visuals/sound/whatever for them to lose the title, do they?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
