- "Hm, we don't have a simulation genre anymore, but we can't ignore The Sims 3 as it got great reviews AND sold more than 6 million copies" => filed under strategy, gets strategy award, done
- Empire: Total War not even nominated in strategy, but two tower defense games (one was obviously not enough)
- (point&click/classic) adventure and MMO genres non-existant; my prediction: those genres will have a splendid comeback in some NA 2010 award shows so that they can give predictable awards to Star Wars: The Old Republic and Heavy Rain and nominate Star Trek Online plus 3 other MMO's-no-core-gaming-webiste-cared-about-despite-their-userbase, Gray Matter, Vampyre Story 2, next year's LucasArts remake and next year's random-Telltale-game-based-on-a-borrowed-LucasArts-franchise
Yes, the country that once had the most and the world's best PC game developers still loves PC gaming - somehow.
