Given that it was developed in the humble West Sussex town of Horsham, it's no surprise to see Alien: Isolation lead the charge at this year's BAFTA Games Awards. While the event always has a global presence, it tends to champion British titles above all else, and that's clear with the aforementioned survival horror scoring six nominations, including Best Game.
The release is also up for British Game, Game Design, Game Innovation, Audio Achievement, and Music gongs. To be honest, if it doesn't win the sound design category, then we're going to turn up at London's Tobacco Dock – where the ceremony is being hosted – with pitchforks. It's up against the likes of The Banner Saga and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in that section.
Meanwhile, Destiny, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mario Kart 8, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and Monument Valley will battle it out in the Game of the Year category. A number of PlayStation exclusives made the cut, with LittleBigPlanet 3 nominated for Best Family Game, while add-on The Last of Us: Left Behind scooped up Performance and Story nods.
We've included the full list of recognised releases below, so do let us know what your personal picks would be in the comments section.

Dragon Age, I was thoroughly bored of alien isolation very quickly. The cut scenes were probably the best I've ever seen though.
What shocks me the most is that Smash Wii U didn't made the best music category.
Alien isolation is a fantastic game if u get through the first few hours,havnt played a game like it before and I have been gaming a long time. Genuinely scary and has great sound and visuals.Has been throughly overlooked by a lot of people. Shadow of mordor was awesome to..first ever platinum

Seriously? You just ignore the terrific audio of Alien Isolation?
I would love to see Alien for Audio Achievement. That game's sound is one of the best things I have ever had in my life.
I love to see Alien Isolation that much in those lists. It is the best alien game since AvP2. I just died once in my first playtrhough in Hard Mode. But I still feel like soiling my pants, when I just remember the terror I went through.
please watch the language -Tasuki-
@tatsumi Well, I didn't played, so not my personal choice...
