It turns out videogames aren't just the thing we do to avoid emptying the dishwasher, they're also apparently an art form.

As a result, for the last 20 years or so, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has been celebrating them with the BAFTA Games Awards, which rewards the best games and their developers with the very same weighty looking mask trophies as the movie and TV stars get. They haven't gone as far as to add a G to their name yet, presumably because BAFTA is too much fun to say.

You might be wondering how we here at TG, best known for correct opinions about cars, managed to sneak into the UK's most prestigious videogame event. No, we didn't take inspiration from the Hitman game series and choke out a member of the service staff and hastily don their uniform, we were instead formally invited by Peugeot, the official Vehicle Partner of BAFTA.

That meant that rather than clambering through an open kitchen window at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank, we were smoothly delivered to the red carpet in a well-appointed Peugeot E-408.

It's not the first time Peugeot has dabbled in videogames either. The brand's recent Polygon concept car has a name and styling that couldn't be more nailed on for a gaming audience, and it was accompanied by Polygon City, a custom island that can be downloaded within Fortnite.

The awards themselves were a heart-warming celebration of excellent games from the past 12 months, with stylish superhero soap opera Dispatch and sprawling samurai adventure Ghost of Yotei both winning big. And while there were no driving games even nominated this year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 scooped the coveted award for Best Game.

As a game so French it was literally recognised by the French Ministry of Culture for its contribution to the arts, Peugeot can at least be pleased with that...
