I really don’t understand how these things work. Ultimate game of the year was COD4. Yet GTA4 wins Xbox game of the year, despite COD4 being on the 360. Does not compute.
And COD:WaW for the ‘one to watch’? When all everyone’s done since it was announced is moan that it’s an “off year”?
I surmise Activision sponsored the event, yes?

I’m sorry, COD4 PC game of the year? It might have been a good game, but Crysis Warhead was much better in my opinion. I’m wondering if all of this was decided before hand and that the votes didn’t matter.. :\

I agree with left 4 dead being a better game to watch, and also cod4 not being pc game of the year..

@Kalain: You would be surprised how stupid and petty the public are in regards to voting on games.
