Video Game BAFTA nominations announced – Call of Duty, GTA IV and Rock Band lead predictable line up
The Video Game BAFTAs are nothing to do with the proper BAFTA awards that happened over the weekend. It’s different. It is, more importantly, a separate event, so you don’t get the oddly-shaped, bearded, podgy video game makers of the world mingling with the beautiful people of the film universe.
The gaming BAFTA winners will be announced this March and the Academy has just released its full, vast list of all the nominations. They’re all here, right from “Best Game” to the odd world of “Best Audio”.
You and I, the common folk, are allowed to vote in only ONE category – the GAME-sponsored “GAME Award of 2008”. Nine games are in this category – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Guitar Hero…
Shiny Video Review: Mario Kart on the Wii
Wii Fit may be on sale from today, but if you ask me, you should save all your pennies for Mario Kart on the Wii – if you can track one down, that is. I spent three hours last Saturday on Oxford Street, but to no avail.
Still, Simon has got his lucky mitts on a review copy, check out his thoughts on it in the video above, and if you’d like one, pick…

Tech Digest says no on the Little Britain mobile game
An official Little Britain mobile game? Champagne! Champagne for everyone, as Bubbles would say.

Pub Mania brings your local Nag's Head to your mobile phone
Here’s one mobile game that’s after my own heart, Pub Mania, which is set in, whaddya know, a pub! Luckily it doesn’t come with the lairy lads, stale stench of sweat and beer and pork scratchings wrappers littering the floor. That’ll be in Cocktail Mania, heh.
Created by Gameloft, the game revolves around the idea that you’re a landlord (finally, a chance to play The Baddie in an all-too-familiar scene!), who has to show customers to their tables, take orders and serve up the gin and tonics. Watch out for the hot coffee mod which includes having to shoo junkies away from your beer garden, and break up bar fights between football fans…
