Another BAFTA - I've replaced the picture of me holding the BAFTA we won for RaceDriver GRID, best sports game of 2008, with our latest award - the 2011 sports game BAFTA, this time for the Formula 1 car racing game F1 2010. We're working on the 2011 version now, and the next Rally game, DiRT3, has deservedly just entered the UK all-format game charts at number 2 (curse you, Rock Stars!). Stay tuned for some more imaginative game-names :-)
