The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) had its 2010 Video Game Awards yesterday, and Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2 walked away with the lion’s share of honors, including Best Original Score. Although Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum took home Game of the Year, Naughty Dog’s masterpiece nabbed four awards.
The nominees for Best Original Score were:
Assassin’s Creed II
Batman: Arkham Asylum
PixelJunk Shooter
Uncharted 2
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
All of these entries are certainly respectable. However, not one RPG or JRPG soundtrack is included, and none of the favorite soundtracks of the writers of this site can be found here.
What say you? Are these the top five original scores of 2009 or has BAFTA missed a few gems? I think you know how we feel!
