Midway Games Ltd, is pleased to announce winning a prestigious BAFTA award for ‘Best Strategy Game’ for the recently released Rise and Fall: Civilizations at War on PC at this year’s British Academy Video Games Awards, held last night in London.

The hotly contested category saw Rise and Fall pitched against some of the biggest franchises in the strategy genre, but Midway’s chart-topping first entry into the PC gaming sector ultimately won over the judges from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

Midway’s European Marketing Director, Al King, accepted the award, paying special tribute to Mark Caldwell, the game’s producer.
