There's a disturbing lack of New Super Mario Bros Wii anywhere on the list. Or even an award for the Platformer genre at all.

Lots of 360 games on that list, kinda reminds me of the gamespot best of E3.

One thing I find excellent is the mention of Bayonetta. I can't wait for that game.

I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
