BAFTA = British Academy of Film and Television Arts recently gave out awards for the best console games.
BEST INTERACTIVITY -
Title: Pikmin
Developer: Nintendo Company Ltd
Game Cube
Shigeru Miyamoto has again created a game of great beauty, bucking the current trend for graphic realism to create an imaginative, original world. His central character is a cross between Mr Magoo and Casper the Ghost in a space suit. The environments are gloriously realised; the feel of the game is friendly and warm. Pikmin creates an immersive, coherent and utterly believable world where "hey I can do that" is the norm.
BEST AUDIO -
Title: Luigis Mansion
Developer: Nintendo
Game Cube
Beautiful in its simplicity, charming in its innocence, this soundtrack is completely worthy of carrying forward the Mario legend, blazing its own creative trail. Close attention to overall balance and separation, coupled with great sound effects and music content - and a healthy dose of humour - results in something approaching masterpiece. Inventive, uncluttered, and big fun.
Winner of Both BEST MULTIPLAYER & BEST CONSOLE GAME -
Title: Halo
Developer: Bungie
Xbox
Every new console should be launched with a must-have game. Halo is that game. You play John, the Master Chief and sole remaining member of the SPARTAN team of elite Marines. It’s down to you to become the saviour of mankind. In order to achieve this heady task your body has been enhanced through a series of procedures. And that's a good thing, because the opponents in this game outnumber you hundreds to one. In many ways, Halo looks and feels like a traditional shoot ‘em up but to really understand how far beyond this is, sit down and play it for a while.
Also, the rest of the awards
