Portal 2 wins best video game at the Bafta Video Game Awards
16 March 2012
Portal 2 by Valve won the British Academy Video Game Awards for best game.
The best design and the best story were also awarded to the puzzle-platform title in first person.
Dice's Battlefield 3 was awarded a prize by the public. It also won the prize for the best multiplayer online game.
Other award winners were Batman: Arkham City, Little Big Planet 2 and LA Noire, which were awarded for best original music.
Josh Weier, Portal 2's project leader, seemed slightly startled to follow up his team's victory at October's Golden Joystick awards.
He said that he had only had three hours sleep and jet lag, so he would try to be brief.
"It was a real joy to work on the game and it's just amazing that I'm here tonight and win this award."
Markus "Notch" Persson - the creator of Minecraft - was also honoured with a special award.
His unique environment-building title has sold more that five million copies, despite him not having a third publisher or marketing campaign.
"Wow," the 32-year old said on taking to the stage.
"This is clearly huge. It's a great idea to celebrate games with such a serious thing.
The ceremony included a total of 19 prizes, including four new categories: debut game, online-browser, online-multiplayer and performer.
Game's struggle
The event was clouded by Game Group's financial troubles, which was also the sponsor of the awards.
Game confirmed Monday that some of its suppliers were refusing stock.
Games publishers were apparently worried that the size of Game Group's debt might prove unsustainable and they would not be paid for stock delivered.
Game was unable, therefore, to offer popular titles like Mass Effect 3 & Mario Party 9
The company issued a statement admitting that it was uncertain whether efforts to resolve this matter would succeed. Investors were also warned that their shares could be worthless.
The Financial Times reported Thursday that there was a possibility of rescuing the company. OpCapita, a private equity group, offered to buy the company's debt from its lenders.
Game Group has 1,300 stores worldwide, including 600 in the UK.
It can also be traded online under the brands Game, Gamestation, and Gameplay.
Gaming
It has struggled against competition by the supermarkets and other e–retailers such as Amazon.
It is also under pressure from the fact that the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 & Nintendo Wii all appear to be approaching the end their life-spans has also impacted its hardware sales.
