Yes, it seems that when they give these awards they conviniently overlook PCs - in words of Marcus Beer on the matter of VGA giving it to Halo 4, the Annoyed Gamer from GT (though GT gave it to Halo) - "anybody who voted for Halo 4 to have best graphics of 2012, you are either blind or smoking too much - and I'm not talking about tobacco". Can't say I completely agree with Marcus though.
GT for example doesn't have 2 categories (they explain it in intro) - that's why i like when there is 2 separate categories - technical and art direction. When it comes to tech prize, this is where Marcus is right - giving it to console game is simply ridicilous when compared to FarCry 3 on PC. On the other hand if you look at art direction, there are so much better looking games than FarCry3 in 2012 (my pick would be Journey).
But I guess, overall, if there is only one prize they have to take into account both tech and art - so I can see why Halo got so many awards (again, for me, Joruney is something that I'll be remembering in 5 or 6 years, neither Halo or FarCry3 won't age well in my opinion).
