Journey Leads List Of 2013 BAFTA Games Nominees

The British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) video games awards presentation is set for March 5 and the nominees have finally been announced. Earning the most nominations this year is thatgamecompany’s emotional Journey, earning nods in such categories as Audio Achievement, Game Innovation and, of course, Best Game.

Journey will have its work cut out, though, as it shares that final category with the likes of Dishonored, Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead and, always popular across the pond, Fifa 13. All categories are listed below.
