Never played GRAW...

Why did Oblvion not win any, let alone get nominated for GOTY???!!! I'm from the UK and Oblvion is easily the most popular there...

...Black wasn't popular here either WTF???!!!

I personally thought that the program was poorly done. Its good that G.r.a.w. got an award, its a well constructed game. There were obviously a lot of other great games that failed to receive a mention, at least if you played them then you enjoyed them !

It would be good to see an award ceremony that lasts longer and caters more to hard core gamers rather than being so commercial, a combination of both ideally.

We, the (consumers) are the ones that matter, not celebrities that know nothing about games handing out awards !

amar GRAW was certainly what we had hoped for and personally - oblivion was not to my liking. Your other comment on how all we are good at in the UK is eating kebab and getting drunk is simply something constructed by media frenzy and the naiveity of folk like you.

The Uk mainstream can never get anything right. Truth is all the Uk mainstream know and care about is getting drunk in pubs and then going for e kebab, they can not be trusted to host a video game award show. I bet they had like one expert come in from the most biased video game mag they could think off too choose the games for selcetions. The judges were probably rich ass wipes that only came along for an extra buck and could care less about games.

Yeah I am from the UK and we don't get much choice on tv even on our sky ( satelitte) and so when I heard there was going to be a video game award show on one of our big tv channels I got very excited. I had been waiting to watch ot for about a month. I even voted. I voted for Oblivion and Hitman and a few other games . Not one of my votes seems to have won. When I saw this I realised that this how was a farce. Video games are getting big in our country and some money grabbing excs saw an opprutunity to cash in. I am very dissapointed , I was so looking forward to seeing the Elder Scrolls pick up an award for GOTY. We all know that Elder Scrolls is easily the GOTY, so why on earth it wasn't on the list I have no clue. GRAW should have been in the most hyped game of the year award. It's a good game but no where near as good as we all thought it would be.

What a shame. The one chance the UK had to be on top of something other than drinking beer and eating fish and chips and they drop the ball.

Gamespot gets Site of the Year award for most efficient news title. 19-letter title stands for 101-letter expanded definition (Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter gets Game of the Year award at British Academy of Film and Television Arts).

I dont think they knew what they were doing really. They've been doing telly stuff for ages, then some nutter suggested doing BAFTAs for videogames, then all of a sudden they were faced with a whole new situation, where they didn't know what to do: "Oh ****, what are we gonna do guys! we don't know anything about games!... Umm, you there, tea boy, go out and write down the games in the discount section of GAME... they'll do"

Shadow of the colossus is a great game, but oblivion is far better and should have won the best action&adventure game.

I must explain as I live in the UK but am an American. This is not the fourth Bafta awards for games, it's the first! So yes, they c@cked it up big time with some of the choices and nominations but then again so did MTV with the first music awards. The only cr@p thing is I voted online for everyone of these categories and I don't think one that I voted for won! Oh well...

locoroco as best character? Lolz, that's a bit weird. Ok they have a funny and cute appearance, but I would rather prefer an award as innovation or gameplay. ow well

"Awarded by online vote by readers of the tabloid The Sun"

That explains A LOT. If youre american, The Sun is the bottom end of Newspapers. It's pretty much cheap ass paparazzi stories and fuel for idiots.

GRAW! Game of the year! I wonder which version of GRAW they played? The one I bought for the PC was useless, terrible AI, terrible animation and the graphics weren't as good as BF2. I bought it after seeing the XBOX 360 version which looked a lot more accomplished. I prefer BF2 tbh, who were these so called 'judges' anyway, cretins!
