BAFTA Scotland - Dynamo Wins Interactive Trophy

Bafta_scotland_2 Congratulations to Dynamo Games for picking up the Interactive Award at last nights BAFTA Scotland Ceremony.

Commiserations to Realtime Worlds who were also nominated.  And our heartiest good wishes to the BBC Online team for the Raven website (which is actually quite good if you've got 5 mins)

Giving the trophy to a mobile title, which was nominated alongside a next-gen console title is a brave move from BAFTA.  Here's hoping it's the first step in BAFTA Scotland making the interactive sector a more relevant tightly integrated and fascinating part of the night's glittering ceremony.

Of course, as far as we're concerned, they're BOTH winners.

Very well done all round.  We'll be posting a picture of the Dynamo chaps holding/stroking their award as soon as they sober up enough to stand up.

UPDATE: Now with OFFICIAL BAFTA Scotland Award Logo thing.

Pocket Master V Sandbox Monster - To The Death...

Bafta Don't forget readers this Sunday sees the Scottish BAFTA ceremony, which takes place at a glittering community centre in Bathgate (Glasgow was fully booked).

Dynamo Games V Realtime Worlds.  Who will claim the shiny, shiny trophy for their own?

Our efforts to find out who the judges are have been fruitless so far, but the BAFTA PR folk say they will happily pass the info on once the awards are handed out.  They've also assured us that the judges are in fact 'Top Men' from the industry.

The BAFTA Scotland site now has a link to the streaming video of the ceremony, so don't foget to check it out.  You can always record 'I'm A Celebrity...'

We'd like to extend our best wishes, hopes, dreams and general goodwill to both companies - as well as the Scotland football team.
