These awards honor "the very best in artistic, creative and technical innovation in video games", and past winners for Best Strategy Game include Wii Sports and Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War.

This year, CivRev beat out Advance Wars: Dark Conflict, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Ninjatown, SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Tactical Strike, and Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare won three awards, the most of any game.

Hmm didn't know that the Bafta's did video game awards. People seem the think a Bafta is prestigious but really they aren't many jokes have won one.

As always, a Civilization game winning an award is great, even if it were an award given by a film and television society. A bit off-topic, I'm pretty amazed by the fact that Spore won an award, over GTA IV, Fallout 3, Fable II, Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed.
