That thing was so pathetic anf funny it actually made me sad. I realize how it sounds, I pitied the game industry, found it laughably bad, and was just sad all at the same time. I will demonstrate:
Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year
Brutal Legend
That is so laughable, so pathetic, and so sad that I can't explain it with words. Keep in mind Dawn of War 2 AND Empire: Total War came out. The awards were probably decided by idiots who couldn't even find the on button on their PCs. Because of that, they invalidated any other awards they gave out. Even if they got a few of them correctly, but even a broken clock has the right time twice a day.
