The BAFTA Us
The Last of Us cashed in on five of its nine 2014 BAFTA nominations, including winning Best Game and Best Story. Not quite 10 awards at D.I.C.E., but good.
Tearaway overtook it for Artistic Achievement while also winning in the Family and Mobile/Handheld categories. Its three awards tie it with Grand Theft Auto V as the second most winningest game of the night. Glad to see that recognition. I thought Tearaway was last year’s best game. It’s a shame no one bought it.
Papers, Please won for Strategy/Simulation, Brothers for Innovation, and Gone Home for Best Debut. View the nominees and winners here, or just the winners below.
