Here we have the full list of tonight’s big winners. Obviously we’ll have a more comprehensive write up of how the evening went just as soon as our correspondent has stopped trying to chat up Sir Ben Kingsley.
Heavy Rain was the night’s biggest winner, scooping three awards with Sony Computer Entertainment the most successful publisher, grabbing a total of four.

So, what do you think, deserved winners?
Note: Rockstar apparently withdrew Red Dead Redemption from the awards.

Pleased Heavy Rain won lots.
Cage dedicating the award to Sony Japan was nice of him, too
Moakesice
Some good results there, F1 2010 for best sports, yeah man! and BC2 getting an award too, great results

Think its a fair win for all those games. Congrat to Heavy Rain for getting the recognition it deserves!
Lordfloyd
Good list of winners, undermined by the idiocy of the general public.

Glad that Heavy Rain did well, but I would have thought LBP2 would get something like technical innovation
colmshan1990
Not really as innovative.
I’d be disappointed if a sequel won that, to be honest.
As good as LBP2 is, in the end it is merely a refinement and expansion of LBP.
And that’s why we love it. :)

You make a good point, but the possibilities opened up in the sequel are the most groundbreaking mechanics I’ve ever seen in a game and a huge step forward for the series – so for me it’s incredibly deserving :)

I’m happy with most of those winners and especially pleased to see Heavy Rain doing well.
While sitting in my car waiting to collect a friend last night I had my first opportunity to play Cut the Rope and it really made the time fly, cute little puzzler and nice to see it win an award.

Glad to see ACB get one, brilliant game!

Thrilled with the results, especially in the multiplayer category. Amazing!
