I think that's quite important for the game industry and all us gamers: "The decision by BAFTA to make computer games its 'third arm' is overdue endorsement of a genre that has struggled for artistic recognition..... If recognition by BAFTA helps the industry to raise its game, then it will soon be accepted without dispute." Mark Brown, The Guardian
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is the UK's leading organisation dedicated to the recognition and promotion of excellence in the fields of the moving image. Renowned for its high profile Film and Television Awards ceremonies, the prestigious BAFTA mask has long been seen as a symbol of excellence.
The Academy is now committed to the development of the contemporary art form of video games, and to lending equal weight to its British Academy Video Games Awards as that given to film and television.
Following last year's spectacular ceremony, this year's Awards will take place on Tuesday 23 October at Battersea Evolution in Battersea Park." You can visit the official site HERE

Hopefully this help remove the image some people have that video games increase violence amongst youngsters, thanks for the news.

Thanks Carla..does this mean anyone can vote? Ana Unfortunately not,Ana. You can propose yourself to vote, there is an online form to fill but you must explain your position and why you think you could be a "judge". Wouldn't it be nice if someone from GB would apply?

Thanks Carla, that is surely good news for the gaming industry. That's an interesting question Becky - I can think of several games that were artful but not especially fun to play.

Hi "will the judges look for the same things that game reviewers look for? Or will there be a whole new "take" on what makes a game a winner?" How refreshing if the latter !!!! Then games other than Shooters might get a look in Fingers crossed Cheers. Mad
