how can u put crysis in best game...yet not technical achievment? surely the cryengine 2 is a huge step in technical achievements? there be some odd games in each section IMO

steveo_mcg · 27th Sep 2007, 12:27

How can you possibly put a game in for best game which hasn't even had a decent demo out for it!

Duste · 27th Sep 2007, 12:47

Wii Sports all the way imo.

Flibblebot · 27th Sep 2007, 13:10

Likewise, how can the Orange Box be in there when it hasn't even been released yet?

Redbeaver · 27th Sep 2007, 13:53

no LordofTheRings Online?

BioSniper · 27th Sep 2007, 14:22

If Bioshock or Okami don't win the Artistic achievement award then someone needs their head checking.

mrb_no1 · 27th Sep 2007, 14:33

not being funny, but there are games there that are currently unreleased and then Sup Com doesnt appear in the strategy section. Having played sup com first, and now tiberium wars and world in conflict, sup com is the favourite as it allows for the most possibilties and allows competent players to excel, the other 2 bring nothing particularly new and leave me frustrated that i can't do things that i can in supcom like queueing builds, attacks etc etc....maybe supcom fell outside the guidelines for BAFTA, i dont know, i dont normally follow the BAFTA's but i'm disappointed to not see it in there.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAFTA'S (that being my shortened, more adolescent response)

peace

Bioshock for best artistic achievement and game of the year should also be in for best use of audio cause tbh the games they got in there are dire at using sound and dont build up the atmosphere anywhere near as well.

Although we all know Wii Sports will win game of the year because the BAFTA games awards are a joke which I doubt anyone takes seriously....or at least I wouldnt

I mean look at stratergy and simulation what a joke wheres the stratergy and simulation on Wii sports? Its a bloody tech demo nothing more.

L2wis · 27th Sep 2007, 14:48

each section seems to have some really lame nominations! WTF is viva pinata in best artistic?! lol get a grip! I reckon microsoft is sponsoring this event!

jezmck · 27th Sep 2007, 15:43

'Cake Mania'?
Is that the same as 'Comfy cakes' in Purble Palace?

drakanious · 27th Sep 2007, 15:52

Yes, why no SupCom?

Also, BOOOO BAFTA.

Sonny · 27th Sep 2007, 17:14

um, where is Halo 3? I know it was just released, but as others have pointed out there are games included that have not been released yet.

Jordan Wise · 27th Sep 2007, 17:48

bioshock for absolutely everything, including best sports game. Hunting splicers is the greatest form of sport i have seen

proxess · 27th Sep 2007, 20:05

Wii by storm! I don't think Un-released should be there.

completemadness · 27th Sep 2007, 23:18

why not Supreme Commander? that is a massive step forwards for RTS

malcolm · 27th Sep 2007, 23:18

The BAFTAs are run by twats that arse it up every year, I don't know why everybody is surprised

fwalm · 28th Sep 2007, 16:28

Well Gears of War wasn't on the best multiplayer and well it easily beat every other 360 game, wasn;t hard at that time but anyway. Plus if Halo 3 isn't there yet other unreleased games are, it's a joke.
