Valve’s first-person puzzler Portal 2 took home the coveted Game of the Year gong at last night’s glitzy BAFTA awards ceremony in London. The brilliant brain bender was the biggest winner on the night, scooping up an additional two awards for best Design and Story.
Despite being nominated in five categories, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim went home empty handed. Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception also missed out on a gong.
It wasn’t all bad news for Sony first-party though, with LittleBigPlanet 2 netting two awards for Innovation and best Family game.
DICE’s Battlefield 3 got the public vote, winning the GAME Award of 2011. The EA published shooter also scored accolades for Audio Achievement and best Online Multiplayer.

Batman better than UC3?! ... Ok. Next.
Massive Battlefield fan since 1942 so glad to see it pick up several awards , Portal 2 i loved also . LBP2 bores the life out of me as did the first one .

What's wrong with LBP2? If you're having trouble with making levels, although I've never played an LBP game in my entire life, I think you should play some of the easier, introductive levels in the game, and hopefully, it will ease in. And if you don't like making levels or playing them, you should go back to LBP1's motto "Play with everything" and just experiment with all the new tools, items, and functions. If you still don't like the game by then, I'll believe you really don't like it, it all depends on you.
