The Room 1, remember, won the British Game BAFTA last year. Simogo's Device 6 - a mobile game that's up for lots of Independent Games Festival awards - is up for three BAFTAs, and Simogo's Year Walk is up for one.īeyond's Ellen Page (Jodie Marsh) and The Last of Us' Ashley Johnson (Ellie) will go head-to-head competing for the Performer BAFTA, which is nice, given how Ellen Page accused Naughty Dog of ripping off her likeness for The Last of Us.Ĭongratulations to Tom Francis and team for Gunpoint getting two nods, and to Fireproof Games for getting two nods for The Room Two. Gone Home and the delightful Ni No Kuni - yet another of our Games of 2013 - also show their faces in this category. Touching downloadable game Brothers - a game of moments - is up for three awards including Best Story. Super Mario 3D World, our Game of the Year 2013, is up for four awards too. It's a game that's more of a thought provoking conversation with a bright mind, explained Cara Ellison. Another of our games of 2013, The Stanley Parable, is also up for four awards. Papers, Please is up for three other awards besides Best Game, and was one of our games of 2013 a low budget affair that 'refreshes even the most jaded of palettes'.

Last year's widely acclaimed big hitters Grand Theft Auto 5 and The Last of Us also feature prominently: GTA 5 with eight nominations and The Last of Us leading with 10 (bumped by a couple of best performer nominations). Media Molecule's charming Vita game Tearaway is actually one of the leaders in nominations, popping up in eight categories. Booker actor Troy Baker isn't, although he is nominated for his performance as Joel in The Last of Us. It's up for Artistic Achievement, Music and Audio Achievement, and Courtnee Draper is up for Performer for her role as Elizabeth. Fighting it out for that honour are Tearaway, Assassin's Creed 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, The Last of Us, Super Mario 3D World and Papers, Please.īioShock Infinite is nominated for four awards but not Story, surprisingly. The biggest surprise is that BioShock Infinite - its triumphant arrival being one of the gaming events of the year, if not the generation - is not nominated for Best Game. It's that time of year again: The British Academy Games Awards (BAFTA) nominees have been announced.
