I like their choice of 2008 game of the year: Sins of the Solar Empire.  I have not gathered the money to buy it, but I think I will have to now.  I'm also pleased that it is Cedega certified

 

 Sins has a steep laurning curve doesnt it?

Anyways, Im happy Fallout 3 got sum awards and top spots. Sadly no Mount & Blade on those lists.

Sin isn't bad but the lack of campaign kinda reduces the replayability of the game.

Once you have played 3-4 maps the game is pretty much always the same....

 

What?!!!! No campaign? It's all skirmish or what?

 

You have like 30 or so maps with varying sizes and number of enemies but that's it.

There is no story or campaign....

From what I remember every map you and your enemies start with an initial undeveloped planet too, there aren't any way to attack a preconstructed empire....

So every frigging game is the same where you and your enemies start from zero and slowly develop. 

What changes is the shape of the galaxy, how planets and star systems are connected and how many enemies you are fighting...( and I think you can configure some parameters affecting how the computer AI chooses to develop).
