Half-Life 2 Sweeps Bafta Games Awards

Posted by Zonk on from the those-wacky-british dept.

Ford Prefect writes "The British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, or Baftas, are frequently considered Britain's equivalent of the Oscars. The winners of the second annual games awards were announced last night, and according to the BBC Half-Life 2 won six awards, including best game and best online game. No Katamari Damacy mentioned, Burnout 3 won three awards, and some plucky little upstart called 'Halo 2' won the prize for best Xbox game."

    It probably has more to do with the fact that Katamari Damacy isn't out in europe yet. It probably isn't even eligible.

    Since Namco decided against releasing Katamari Damacy in Europe, that's why it wasn't nominated for the awards.

    It makes sense to only reward games that are available in your area. If a publisher decides not to release a game in your area, don't reward them with an award.
