BioShock Wins BAFTA Best Game of The Year Award
Despite BioShock’s DRM/Rootkit debacle, and widescreen issues, the actual game is one of the best of this year. The British Academy of Television Arts has awarded BioShock the Best Game of The Year Award at the 2007 British Academy Video Games Awards.
“This is a huge accomplishment for us and a fantastic achievement for video games,” said Neil Ralley, General Manager of 2K International, who attended the ceremony at London’s Battersea Evolution to receive the award. “BioShock is a testament to the unfailing creativity, expertise and efforts of our Boston and Canberra, Australia-based development studios. Furthermore, it demonstrates that compelling and original games, if properly supported, are capable of achieving immense popularity. We’re very proud of BioShock’s critical and commercial success.”
