The Last Of Us, romped home with the biggest rewards at last night's British Academy Games Awards.
The post-apocalyptic survival game from Santa Monica based Naughty Dog collected the Best Game, Story, Audio Achievement, Action and Adventure and Performer Awards at the award ceremony hosted by Dara O'Briain at London's Tobacco Wharf.

The Last of Us had previously led the British Academy Games Awards nominations with a total of ten nominations, going into last night's ceremony. The PlayStation exclusive walked off in the end with five awards including the most prestigious award of the evening, Best Game 2014.

Neil Druckmann, Creative Director for Naughty Dog, said "It is a very great honour to be recognised by the Academy with such prestigious accolades. Leading the nominations in the company of such hallowed fellow nominees was both gratifying and humbling. But for The Last of Us to actually walk away with five awards on the night felt incredible. Thank you so much to everyone who voted - the whole team is delighted!"

Bruce Straley, Game Director on The Last of Us, was present at the event to witness The Last of Us also win the Audio Achievement Award. "As games become more sophisticated in terms of graphical fidelity, so the audio component becomes an integral and critical part of the experience. For our contribution to be recognised by the British Academy of Film and Television Awards is the highest acknowledgment of this and a very great honour."
