so some of these are ridiculous right? Like Forza in both sports and simulation and the total lack of 3DS games yeah?

Artistic Achievement - Beyond: Two Souls, hurr durr...

I really dont see the problem with Forza, its a sports game and it does fall under the simulation genre, I think the real issue was lack of a clear meaning since "Strategy and Simulation" was probably meant for games like Civ and Xcom instead of something like a plane simulator (although for some reason Surgeon Simulator is there and that one is just simulator in name).


So yeah, as usual awards dont mean shit other then to have people jump in rage at the choices.


Arent good reviews the best awards game developers can get? I mean, if you pull a 10/10 isnt it better then being called "Best Action game" since all the other contesters were absolute shit?

I'm going to sound like a douche by saying this, but fuck the BAFTAS if Beyond: Two Souls wins anything.
