Best Console game? really?!

thats a joke. does anybody know of this award show? if so do you know if they had an credibility because if they did they just lost all of it.

if this was talking console graphics, that is a joke. if it was talking PC, it is understandable.
though i do believe Battlefield 3 PC has better graphics than Crysis 2 PC.

Not biased at all XD

I'd assume the "German Game Developer Awards" only apply to German developed games and developers :3

i didnt know crytec was german. but i guess youre right, as i have never heard of any of these games, other than Crysis 2

... Yep!

Booo..., Galaxy on Fire 2 was the better german game!

You have to understand that these awards are only about games developed by German companies (or companies from German speaking countries, as "Ludwig" was developed in Austria), so it's not very hard for Crysis 2 to win several categories.

Harvey's New Eyes is a great game, by the way (game was released in August).

Awards are redundant, but which awards aren't?

This is like being the best basketball player with no arms.

That's a good one!
