Today the British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced the nominees for its 2015 video game awards, and Creative Assembly's Alien: Isolation narrowly beat out competition to claim the greatest number of nominations.

The awards are notable because they aim to honor the most well-realized and innovative games developed across all realms of the industry, from small-scale mobile games to traditional big-budget projects.
