GAME

A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool.[1] Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games). Games are sometimes played purely for entertainment, sometimes for achievement or reward as well. They can be played alone, in teams, or online; by amateurs or by professionals.

GOD OF WAR WINS BEST GAME AT BAFTA AWARDS

Action-adventure game God of War has won the sought-after Best Game prize at the 15th annual Bafta Games Awards. The game is rooted in ancient mythology and stars Kratos, the former Greek god of war, and his son Atreus. Fortnite, released in 2017, was named best evolving game. Despite receiving six nominations, UK-made western adventure Red Dead Redemption 2 walked away empty-handed at the glitzy ceremony in central London. The first God of War game was released in 2005. This eighth instalment in the series, developed by Santa Monica Studio, sees its iconic lead character Kratos - son of Zeus - as a struggling single parent. Cory Barlog, director of God of War, told the BBC winning the awards was "amazing, overwhelming, and scary". He said the win showed that story-led games could be as "relevant" as the presently popular Battle Royale style titles. Nintendo's Labo won two awards, one for best family game and the other for innovation. It is the cardboard toolkit that lets players explore the interactivity of the firm's Switch console, for example by creating a piano. The Bafta winners in full were: Original Property: Into the Breach Music: God of War Game Design: The Return of the Obra Dinn Evolving Game: Fortnite Narrative: God of War Debut Game: Yoku's Island Express Mobile: Florence Family: Nintendo Labo Artistic Achievement: Return of the Obra Dinn Multiplayer: A Way Out Audio Achievement: God of War Game Innovation: Nintendo Labo Performer: Jeremy Davies, God of War Best British Game: Forza Horizon 4 Game Beyond Entertainment: My Child Lebensborn Mobile Game of the Year (Audience Vote): Old School Runescape Best Game: God of War BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat's gaming reporter Steffan Powell said it was surprising that Red Dead Redemption 2 had not won in any category. "A game of such depth and innovation (whether you finished it or not!) - their loss is the independent sector's gain. Tonight shows titles from smaller teams that manage to speak a certain truth to players can be just as successful (in awards terms - not cash!) as the big guns," he tweeted. Presenter Dara O'Briain told the BBC the event celebrates the diversity of the games industry and the award results can be surprising. "Like the movie industry suddenly going indie and choosing all indie and not choosing the blockbusters, Bafta has a tendency to do that," he said.
