Mass Effect 2 wins BAFTA for Best Game

The British game BAFTAs were awarded tonight, and hosted by Dara O'Briain. Lots of people won. Peter Molyneux accepted his BAFTA Fellowship award. It was all very lovely.

The awards were streamed live on BAFTA's site tonight, and tomorrow, we'll be hosting a re-run for anyone who missed it.
