How the hell is Crysis: Warhead not even nominated for Best Graphics (Technical)? That's well...baffling. Especially since it supposed to run better than Crysis and look better than Crysis. And Crysis is easily one of the best looking games I've ever seen, technically.

I can see Fallout 3 nominated for Best Graphics (Artistic). Never has such a destroyed world ever looked so damn great. Excellent art design for not just for the destroyed look, but the 50's inspired look is also outstanding. If I recall, it was either Todd Howard that said it, but FO3 draws twice the amount of stuff on-screen that Oblivion does -- and runs better than Oblivion did.

Best Independent Game...hmmm...I wonder if World of Goo will get it...

WTH at EA up for every category in "Best PC Game."

Interesting that Far Cry 2 is up for nomination for "Best Shooter."

If there was a "Worst Trend for 2008" category, The DRM Controversies take the cake.
