Uncharted 2 scores big at Baftas, Batman wins the crown screenshot

One of the more prestigious gaming awards given out each year are the Baftas. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts actually treats these awards as something worthwhile instead of the media whoring that the VGAs are and thus the Baftas usually garner a bit more respect. This years winners have been announced and while most of them aren't that big a surprise the Game of the Year might be.

Batman: Arkham Asylum left the building with the award, beating out favorite Uncharted 2, which took home four other awards, and the seven-time nominated Assassin's Creed 2, which took home no awards. Also of note is that BAFTA gave Flower an award for artistic achievement. The "people" came up with the least surprising win of all when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 took home the GAME Award, which is voted on by the public.

This year BAFTA honored Shigeru Miyamoto with their Academy Fellowship Award, and he showed up looking far more dapper then I've ever seen him in a tux with a red carnation. I didn't know the man could wear anything but t-shirts.

Full winner list after the jump.
