GAME British Academy Video Games Awards

The GAME British Academy Video Games Awards are what I believe the last awards show to celebrate games which were released in 2009. They’re pretty darn prestigious too, as they are part of the overall British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. Evan and Christophe flew over to London, United Kingdom, to attend the awards and represent Naughty Dog.

We’re proud to say that UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves is nominated in 10 categories:

  • Action
  • Artistic Achievement
  • Best Game
  • Gameplay
  • Multiplayer
  • Original Score
  • Story
  • Use of Audio
  • Use of Online
  • GAME Award of 2009

The GAME Award of 2009 is selected by the British public from among the ten titles shortlisted by an expert panel of games journalists and gamers.

You can watch the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards ceremony LIVE at their website. The ceremony starts at 1:45 PM PDT / 8:45 PM GMT (what time is that in my city?).

Be sure head over later today and cheer us on!

Hey Arne please listen to my personal suggestion for the Next Tile Update:
Once you are past Level 51 you are able to purchase Badges of Honour in-order to give the opponents an advantage over the player using them. I like this idea but; you should consider creating boosters that allow lower levels to have a slight advantage over higher level players. For example:
1) Increased health booster, (Opposite of Invalid Booster)
2) Increased damage inflicted on other players when the lower level player uses hand-to-hand combat. (Opposite to Glass Jaw Booster)
Although you are probably thinking that players will permanently leave these boosters equipped but; you could simply just deactivate the booster after they have reached a certain level. Also the boosters should be purchased at a low price as it’s generally harder for a lower level to make money…

P.S - I hope you choose this idea, as I’m positive lower level players will enjoy & benefit from these new boosters!!

Good Luck and I’m sure you win!

increased health and damage no offense but that idea is unfair shit. people 51+ already use a negative booster so they really only get one booster.

If it’s worth anything to you, I’m pretty sure Naughty Dog put in a system that has the lower levels do more damage and take less, or something along the lines of that. It’s scaled to fit you level I believe. Maybe I’m completely wrong but I’m sure I read it on here somehwere....

I agree with you my friend… And not only that, but it’s a lot better to but some new skind FOR FREE this time.... Like those guardians in Shambhala, Napoleon will be nice too! Or those nucked guys at Uncharted Drake’s forune… I love yhose guys:P
Although, some new maps FOR FREE again will be nice.... Like a forest map, or underground map, or sea map.
Anyway, i want to ask for something.... Please if you can, put the DLC map packs for free… PLEASE… That could be much more nice..... And UNCHARTED 2 is the best game i have ever played in my life.... Please answer me as soon as possible about my adieas and that i asked for… Thank you and good luck! smile

The link to their website isn’t working properly becuae it’s missing the h at the beginning.  Currently it’s ( ttp://www.baftagameaward.com/awards/index.html ), and it should be written ( http://www.baftagameaward.com/awards/index.html ).

Good luck guys, but I doubt you’ll need it.

why are u supporting this, lower levels should have to go through the same thing us upper levels had to. that would not be fair.

The MP we bought was taken from us and has been replaced by something we didn’t buy because we do not like it and now you say we should stop complaining?

If you bought a red car tomorrow and a few months later, the red turns into blue and you hate it, wouldn’t you complain until you have your red car again?

It’s such a noob-game now. So ridiculous…

i acually like blue cars better, plus i could just re-paint it. btw most people complaining are lvl X, i think you all have played enough matches. “It’s such a noob-game now. So ridiculous…” like i’ve said STFU and play something else, its just a game dont let it rule your life.

I would be totally happy if you could tell me how to “repaint” this multiplayer wink

It doesn’t matter what other people say about “adapt” or “move on” and stuff like that. I paid for this game and I want it back. It’s the only game I play anyway.

And about complaining: Something’s wrong here and to simply accept it just isn’t the way to go.

i cant answer u on how to “repaint” the multiplayer, but “keep breathing cause the sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring” (1.07). the way i see it though is 1.05>1.04>1.06 (fav to least fav).
