let me guess. This was voted on by Europeans?
WTF does europe have to do with anything?
Everything there would have gotten my vote too...
this list is absolutely garbage! too many cudos to Sony, and not enough love to the 360 and Wii and the DS... booo! This list is absolute garbage!
The worst awards I've ever seen and I've seen the IGN E3 awards.
lol yea thats terrible. I bet they didnt include the winners you'd expect because they wouldn't bother to be at a crappy award show. How could the developer legend not be Shigeru? and Visual arts for Viva Pinata? Gears of War anyone? And dont get me started on Crackdown getting most innovative...
What. The. Hell.
*There's not one Nintendo title, and they gave the Handheld award to ****ing Rockstar Leeds?!
*Innovation goes to ****ing CRACKDOWN. REAL TIME WORLDS. XD XD XD Never mind the damn motion sensing controller over here.
*Publisher? Sega? I could see it even being Microsoft, definitely Nintendo, but Sega?
These people are ****ing stupid, it might have been a better idea to not post this garbage committee's awards.
