The winners of the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards were honoured late last week Friday, and as expected, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves received its fair share of nods during the evening, taking home four awards, but it was Batman: Arkham Asylum that ultimately took home the top prize: Best Game.

Also of note, legendary videogame designer Shigeru Miyamoto was present at the event to receive his BAFTA fellowship award (and, as an aside, mentioned that work on Pikmin 3 for the Wii is well underway… interesting).
