    This is ridiculous.

      Yeah, MGS4 or GTA4 deserve it. Halo/CoD came around like one year ago, pfft.. MGS and GTA have been around for well over 10 years and don't rely on a beowulf cluster of 10-year-old Xbox players who have no taste for FPSs (PC FPSs > * > console FPSs) to make themselves famous.

    "Best RPG"? The categories are useless and should be done away with, given the results. Rather, these awards should be: "Most Hyped #1", "Most Hyped #2", "Most Hyped #3", etc... Basically, it's whatever got the most coverage from G4 this year.
