The BAFTA Video Game Awards were created by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts to recognize excellence in development of video games. The first awards were observed in 2003 with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the big winner for the night with 6 wins out of a possible sweep of the 8 categories. Incidentally Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was nominated for all 8 categories that year.
The 2013 ceremony for the BAFTA Video Game Awards has multiple categories for which video games can be nominated. Some of these multiple categories are Debut Game, Original Music, Story, Sports/Fitness, Game Innovation, Artistic Achievement, Online Browser, Game Design, Strategy, Family Game, Audio Achievement, Mobile & Handheld, Performer, Online Multiplayer, Best British Game, Action for 2013, and Best Game. The 2013 awards would mark the 13th year that video game developers have been honored for their contribution to this growing industry.
The 2013 awards ceremony was hosted by Dara O Briain. Journey was the major winner this year, receiving five awards for the major categories of Online Multiplayer, Audio Achievement, Game Design, Artistic Achievement, and Original Music. The Walking Dead on the other hand garnered two awards for the categories of Best Story and Best Mobile/Handheld.
