There you have it then this years BAFTA winners. A mixed bag for us really. We were very disappointed that Skyrim didn’t manage to bag itself a ‘golden face’ but fair play to the big winner of the night, Portal 2, which is a staggeringly good title. It is also pleasing to see Mark Hamill take home an award for his stellar performance as the Joker, which for are money is one of the greatest performances ever given in gaming.
As always we’re interested in your thoughts on this years winners, so let us know what you think via our Facebook page or via the comments section below. Please do excuse me, I must go and Mainline this hangover cure… Fizzy make feel nice…
