    STORY AND CHARACTER

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare


    A FPS game released back in 2007 beats MGS4 in story telling of this 2008 awards?!


    You must be freak'n kidding me!

    @balthaser: The awards included titles form '07 and '08 since there was no Bafta awards last year. Still not sold on COD4 getting Story and Character over MGS4 though.

    Super Mario Galaxy was much better than I expected it to be, but in my opinion, it was a far cry from GTAIV, Fallout 3, or Call of Duty 4.

    Super Mario Galaxy puzzles me, as does a lack of Metal Gear Solid 4, but I suppose I can agree with the rest of it, to some degree.


    Dead Space's sound really was fantastic though.

    Fable 2 is in best game award but then not in the gameplay section. pretty odd as that's usually the main criteria for a game and it's not got the best story.


    I liked Fable 2 a lot though.

    @xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: it can't hold a candle to Fable one though. Fable 2 seemed to be missing a few things.

    they have fifa and pure on the sports docket but somehow left off nhl 09? wtf?


    list the features and you'll be just as confused as i am. for be a pro mode alone, it deserves to be nominated.


    now, as if it was even possible, i care LESS about the bafta game awards.

    Multiplayer and Story And Character awards look the most interesting out of that lot.


    Mass Effect hands down for Story And Character for me, but we shall see.


    Multiplayer is harder to quantify - COD4 Vs. Rock Band? How do you quantify that?

    I feel like the only guy who didn't like Super Mario Galaxy. The motion controls felt too tacked on.

    @BanjoGinga: all wii games have tacked on motion controls, except for ones entirely based around them. mostly, the wii could have normal gamecube type games, but ever since they started that "waggle" thing, it needs to have some motion control in it or it's not wii. just like all ps3 games need trophies and rumble support now.

    With LBP in the running, why even have others compete for any sort of artistic award?

    @SexyPants: Because even if LBP was guaranteed it the rest get recongition for being nominated. Plus you never know and LBP might not win.

    @xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Because while LBP does kick a certain amount of ass it can be quite painful at times thanks to fairly simple models, poor resolution (720p) and lack of decent anti-aliasing on the PS3.


    It still looks pretty damn fine but others provide a much more cinematic experience.


    I recently revisited Assassin's Creed on 360 (1080p, anti-aliased) and for all it's flaws it's still visually stunning and the effects employed to indicate the flashback nature of the game blend perfectly and just add to that.


    Gears 2 and, from what I remember, MGS look pretty sweet but in a more conventional way, they carry their themes and are eye-poppingly well executed, but not quite as stylised (I sure some will argue this but hey).


    CoD4 was good but I would put it in the same class as the others and I haven't seen Dead Space so can't comment.


    I guess it's down to your interpretation of Artistic Achievement, if it was Creative Achievement then yep, LBP all the way, Artistic Achievement...I could sit and watch AC all day.

    @Xebu: since when was 720p considered "poor resolution"? i've seen 1080p games that run at 60 FPS that dont look nearly as good as LBP.(ninja gaiden sigma)
