The full run down.

We told you the Gaming BAFTAs were held last Friday and would be streamed live online. But in case you didn't catch the show, we've got the winners below.

Portal 2 scooped multiple awards during the evening (though Stephen Merchant lost out to Mark Hamill as the Joker in the Performer category).

But surprisingly none of the big name titles of the last year - Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Gears of War 3, Super Mario 3D Land, Modern Warfare 3 - scored a single award, despite being nominated in multiple categories. Even the GAME Award, voted by the public, saw Battlefield 3 swipe the accolade from Call of Duty.

However, it was good to see Rayman Origins get some acknowledgement, with Ancel and his team walking away with the Artistic Achievement Award.
