BAFTA Gaming Nominees Announced

BAFTA has revealed the list of nominees for this year's game awards which will take place on 7th April. 

It's no surprise to see a huge swing towards British developed games with The Chinese Room's Everybody's Gone to The Rapture receiving 10 nominations, and Sam Barlow's Her Story getting 7. 

Last year's runaway hit The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has also received 7 nominations and is up against stiff competition for Best Game including Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Fallout 4.
