[Administrator]

It may already be February, but the awards season for 2014 video games is not over yet. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts on Tuesday announced the nominations for its BAFTA Games Awards, which will be held next month in London.
In all, 51 games were recognized across 17 categories. Sega's action-horror game Alien: Isolation led the way with six total nominations, while Far Cry 4 and Monument Valley received five nominations each.
Other games to receive multiple nominations included 80 Days, Destiny, Mario Kart 8, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
The contenders for BAFTA's "Best Game," an equivalent to Game of the Year, are Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Alien: Isolation, Monument Valley, Mario Kart 8, and Destiny. A full list of categories and nominees is below.
The British Academy Games Award will be held Thursday, March 12 at Tobacco Dock in London. Actor/comedia Rufus Hound will host the event, which will be streamed live through Twitch.
