MyEmpire, the Grecian building game won the award for new category, best social network game, while Cut the Rope, a puzzle game took home the top honor for the handheld category, reports the Daily Mail.

As for the BAFTA fellowship award, it went to Peter Molyneux, for being what BAFTA CEO, Amanda Berry called, “one of the leading figures in the development of video games as an art form and an inspiration to the next generation of creative minds,” according to Gamasutra.  He is responsible for creating games such as Theme Park, Fable and Magic Carpet.
