BATMAN TRIUMPHED at Bafta's Videogames Awards on Friday, swinging away on some sort of Batmarang with the trophy for best game.
Batman Arkham Asylum pipped Uncharted II: Amongst Thieves to win the gong, proving that good will always win out over evil. Even if 'good' means being a vigilante sociopath wandering around an asylum killing the mentally ill.
Batman also won the award for best gameplay, despite the fact that it is possible to whip through it in a Sunday afternoon.
Uncharted II did win the award for best story however, which will be news to anyone who pressed the green triangle to skip through the cut scenes.
Big seller Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, won the people's choice award. No surprise perhaps, since it is already the second biggest game of all time, after that Brain Training thing on the Nintendo DS.
Undead killfest Left 4 Dead 2 took the award for best multiplayer game, proving that should the UK suffer a zombie holocaust in the next few years we will at least be prepared for it.
FIFA 10, the latest incarnation of EA's classic football title, won best Sports game and best use of online.
Bafta gave a lifetime achievement award to Shigeru Miyamoto, the man who gave us Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong.
A legend indeed. µ
It's clear the writer of this article knows little about Batman. Batman does not kill, all enemies fought, either prisoners from Blackgate or inmates of Arkham Asylum, are rendered unconscious.
Vigilantly, yes. Psychopath NO.
