Imagination key to gaming’s future: Ó Briain

Stealth action game Dishonoured, which features a masked bodyguard-turned-assassin, has been named best video game of the year.

An exotic adventure, Journey, beat big-budget rivals to take home five prizes at the Bafta Game Awards last night.

Dishonoured, developed by France’s Arkane Studios, which is owned by privately-owned US company ZeniMax Media, beat the widely expected favourite, Journey, for the top prize.
