Snippets from the post-awards party: Agent 47 (losing nominee for Character) attempts to strangle the big winner Loco Roco to death. Other game characters stare longingly at Lara’s assets as she climbs a Colossus (suffice to say, the Colossus enjoys it). And LEGO Jar-Jar gets down and dirty on the dance floor, knocking aside all those B-Boys – until he’s mowed down by the Ghost Team, to the cheers of all those who hated the guy.
