Best of luck, IC!  If neither wins, I'll...  feel gypt, like when Metallica lost the metal Grammy to Jethro Tull...

If CoD:WaW wins anything, expect to hear a scream.  It should compete for 'best mod by the developer.'  Still a fun game though, glad I didn't have CoD4 or I'd really complain.

I'm a bit pissed that the Empire Tree isn't up for Best New Gameplay Idea. It really should be.

Sweet! It is a good thing to see quality productions getting some recognition over flash-in-the-pan titles for once. I wish the best for IC and SD.

 

They should start a new category for best beta development program. You just know who would win that one every time!

Ummm.... The website is not an option

For the BSG I can see GC2 winning mainly for the single player camp & extended game options. With that said, I dont think it is fair to include it with new titles. I think they should have had a "best x-pack award" and put it in for it. However for a purely stand alone title Sins wins hands down in my opinion. I guess it comes down to what they will look at most. I think being new will win out in the end.
