thatgamecompany's PlayStation 3 exclusive leads the pack of 53 games nominated for 17 awards.
Journey might have bankrupted developer Thatgamecompany, but its award nominations keep on coming: the PlayStation 3 exclusive has been nominated in eight categories in the British Academy Video Games Awards 2013.
Far Cry 3 and The Walking Dead also received multiple nominations across the 17 categories. UK developers have been recognised among the 53 games nominated, including 4J Studios for its work on Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, and Forza Horizon developer Playground Games.
Some of the year's biggest AAA blockbusters, such as Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, and Black Ops 2, are nominated elsewhere in the awards. They sit alongside indie darlings like Thomas Was Alone, Dear Esther, and Beat Sneak Bandit.
The British Academy Video Games Awards 2013 will take place on March 5 and will be hosted by Irish comedian Dara O'Briain. The evening will be live-streamed on Twitch.
