Uncharted 2 And Batman Triumph At BAFTAs

It was a good day for Uncharted 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum at the BAFTAs last week as each beat out stiff competition to win the big awards. Uncharted began the ceremony with the most nominations and ultimately left with four gongs including Best Action Game and Best Story.

The biggest prize of the night went to Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum, which defeated Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed II to take the Best Game award.
