gingo....hate to break it to ya but for original score there is NO WAAY...lair will win...i respect ur opinions but look at the facts..GoW2 was rated 9 and above...lair was rated below 7...gamespot rated it a 4.5 so yea bro...there is a huge gap

 

and for the 1 above me....even if warhawk was there it wouldnt win....WoW is the biggest MMORPG in the world so no1 will win against it in that category...ppl give hundreds of dollars for accounts in that game just to be a powerful mage or soldier or w/e else there is..

Why is The Darkness only listed as 360 for Story and Characters?  Likewise with Virtua Tennis 3 and DIRT.

@Zaku

Cause they had nothing else to list the 360 for.  They didn't want it to feel left out, get mad, give them the 3 red eyes.

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
