2009 BAFTA Video Game Award Nominees Are In

The annual British Academy Video Game Awards has revealed this year’s nominees, with Assassin’s Creed II, Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Arkham Asylum poised to win big, and the GAME Award of 2009 awaiting your votes. Aside from nominations for FIFA and Football Manager, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ 2009 video game nominees aren’t all that different from the ones generally picked for North American awards. You’ve got Uncharted 2 leading the way with nine nominations, followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 with eight, and Assassin’s Creed II and Batman: Arkham Asylum tied with seven nominations each.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); All four titles are in the running for Best Game, as well as the GAME Award of 2009, an award voted on by gamers such as you and I. Anyone can vote, but UK residents have a chance to win fabulous prizes for making their opinion known. Even if you aren’t a UK resident, you still walk away with a pack of wallpapers declaring your voting preference, like the one seen above. Check out the full list of nominees below. The awards ceremony will take place on March 19th, and will stream live on BAFTA.org.
