Who the h*ll are these id***ts????? Who picks these games?????? Why does Technical Achievement not have Heavenly Sword? Havok has even come out and said that it is one of the most advanced systems ever!!!! No ***t WoW is going to win but why is Warhawk off that list? What other game offers 32 player dog fighting?? It's the first ever, battlefield only ever let a certain aomount of people in the air at one time.

There easily could be more games added to each and every one of those catogories. Games that would remove some off those poorer one from the list.
I don't know how they can have RTS games with sim games like Forza? Why didn't they do a RTS catogory and a Racing one.
BAFTA? more like they're getting DAFTA
