The results for the British Academy Video Games Awards were announced on Tuesday The 23rd of October. What is essentially a tech demo winning six awards doesn't sit right with me. It may well be a good game but there were much better games in some categories.

The innovation one is the one that gets me. There have been plug and play sports devices for years before the Wii came out. I would think Trauma Centre would be more deserving than that.
Could someone more intelligent than me please put the line in that hides the second half of the post so that it doesn't make the front page stretch down half a mile?
