Those national newspapers don’t deserve much of a shout IMO, they only usually mention games to bash them for excessive violence or whatever.

Congratulations on being a finalist. :)

I really hope Gamewank wins. I have no idea what it is, but it’d be an amazing on-stage announcement. :-D

Edge/Eurogamer/VG247′d be my picks – wouldn’t know the writing of any of the journos well enough to consider them.

No Eurogamer Podcast nominated? Gutted!
