CALL OF DUTY 4 TAKES HOME 3 BAFTAS, MARIO GALAXY GETS BEST GAME
After being nominated in seven categories, Activision/Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty 4 took home three awards in the UKs just-completed 2009 BAFTA Awards, for Best Gameplay, Best Story & Character, and the audience voted game of the year award sponsored by UK retailer GAME.
It was beat out for best multiplayer by Valve’s Left 4 Dead, and in the judge-awarded Best Game category by Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy. Elsewhere Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet picked up the Artistic Achievement award, Boom Blox took home Best Casual Game, Spore left with Technical Achievement, and Nintendo/Level 5’s underdog DS puzzler Professor Layton took home best handheld game.
In the event’s student/indie One to Watch category, student team DarkMatter Designs took home the award for their platform/puzzler Boro-Toro, which can be sampled via the game’s website.
