(Crysis was playable, I watched a 2 or 3 minute video of someone from the media playing it at E3)
From the website:
"In order to compete, a game be shown in hands-on playable format. For the 2007 awards season, playable format is defined as the ability for the judge to manipulate a game in real-time while running on its native platform (i.e. "hands on" gameplay). Games that are only demonstrated on videotape or through screenshots, concept art, rendered movies, pre-scripted (i.e. non-interactive) gameplay sequences, or developer-controlled theater demos are automatically disqualified from consideration in the major award categories. Non-playable games are still eligible for Special Commendations in Graphics and Sound Design."
