    @ 3:

    Not only that, but the PS3 is the lead platform and I think the game has only been shown on PS3 so far.  So how about them apples?

    I found out that there was something at Leipzig about Gears 2! It was a making of type vid, but still it got beaten by Mirrors Edge!

    those are some odd categories no? its obvious only the company behind the system will have a game that will be the best of their system. Its not like gears2 is gonna win best of DS.

    Going to preorder LBP very soon.

    Also best 360 game is Mirrors Edge (what a load of nonsense that is) it should have been Gears 2 at least lol.

    This has to be the dumbest article I've seen on PSU in recent weeks.

    As somebody else pointed out no win if it's for Sony platform anyway.  If SCEE started developing games for PC as well and had won that category then yes, but as it stands ... Blatberg missed the point completely, go back to school kid.  I don't know why awards are given to publishers rather than the developers on these lists.  That would be Media Molecule and slimy Ted's army of darkness up for the first two listed here.

    PlayTV still wins best hardware despite a raft of technical issues making it unappealing and overpriced.  I'm involved in industrial PVR development so I'll be interested to see just how bad the problems are.
