The British Academy of Film and Television Arts have given out their annual Video Game Award winners, and Wii Sports and Xbox 360’s BioShock both did considerably well.

By the time the ceremony was over, Wii Sports picked up a total of six of the thirteen awards:  Strategy and Simulation, Multiplayer, Casual And Social, Gameplay, Innovation, and naturally, Sports.  BioShock only picked up one prize, but it was a biggie — best game.

Broken down by console, the Wii had the most wins with six awards altogether, the PS2 was next with a respectable tally of four, and the Xbox 360 was next with three. While many PlayStation 3 titles were nominated, not a single nom converted into a win.
