Why are they “all terrible nominee selections”?

However, the joysticks will be pixelated in order to avoid any possible offense.

Little Kings Story
Fallout 3
SF4
Big W

Only went with Big W because of all those cheap ass games I picked up at that sale a week or so back. Otherwise I import most of my stuff.

No PC, DS or PSP is weird though.

Didn’t that use to be the C&VG awards?

I agree. The choices are awful. I don’t understand why Big W is there, they’re no specialists. They may as well put Toys ‘R’ us, Target, Kmart etc.
Where’s the other catagories? They should include all consoles that are still getting new releases.
As for all you PC fans, almost all console games are made on PC’s, I don’t know why they didn’t add it =[

Then what would you have them put in then? and no Idie games will have to be in its own category.

Batman AA had terrible boss fights and a poor ending, Fallout3 was just crap.

Pretty uninspired nominations. I’m not sure we need any more award systems that serve only to entrench the year’s biggest budget, best marketed titles. A good award nominations list should make people think, ask questions, and consider issues that they wouldn’t have otherwise turned their mind to.

And yes, Gametraders should have been on the list.

D: WAT!?
PC GETS OMITTED!?!?!?! *shakes fist*
After spending over $4000 on my computer, this is how I get rewarded…. Hardware manufacturers should pressure software developers more.

How can thee be no PC award? It’d be fine if it specified itself as a ‘console award’ but it doesnt.

Its like having an art show but disregarding sculptures.
