BAFTAs: Uncharted 2 Up For Nine Awards

Time to get those suits pressed! The Video Game BAFTAs is just around the corner, and the nominations are in. Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum are among the games that are up for the most number of awards.

Nathan Drake's latest PS3 adventure is up for nine awards; Action, Artistic Achievement, Best Game, Gameplay, Multiplayer, Original Score, Story, Use of Audio, Use of Online. It was just pipped to the Handheld category by Scribblenauts (probably). But seriously, Naughty Dog look set to clean up this year.

Modern Warfare 2 in comparison is up for eight awards, while Arkham Asylum is a nominee in seven categories. All three games are going head-to-head in the Best Game award, with other challengers including Assassin's Creed II, FIFA 10 and Left 4 Dead 2.
