So tonight were the BAFTA Game Awards and were, as always, hosted by Dara O Briain.
Because there were 18 categories up for grabs, I've put the winners in the spoiler below.
For a full list of the nominees, click here [http://awards.bafta.org/award/2013/games]. I felt it was best not to list every little thing, as it would take up an absolute fuckton of space
And also at the end, Gabe Newell was given a Bafta Games Fellowship, the highest honour that can be bestowed at the event.
I must admit that during the awards I did laugh when I heard that Black Ops 2 was up for an award in innovation.
I felt The Walking Dead perhaps might have deserved best game and Melissa Hutchinson best performer for her role as Clem but Dishonored and Danny Wallace are worthy winners all the same. Also, personally it's nice knowing that somebody born in Dundee won something, hometown pride and all that.
Anyway, as always with award shows, there's always some debate over the winners, so feel free to debate!
