most of the other commentators placed Fallout 3 behind Mass Effect and a few even had Fable 2 ahead of it.

What the fuck...

They're handing out awards for the best PR in a PR festival?

Who fired the rockets on this handbasket?

It seems Bethesda needs to beef up the next-gen factor in Fallout 3 if it intends to sell the game with profit. Bowing to the core fans is gonna scare away their primary target audience.

Beth/Todd are making a mistake...there are NOT making anything new. How can you get an award for copying the same crap you did the previous year with Oblivain with Guns

Halo always looks the same to me, yet it always wins shit tons of PR awards.

Your avatar looks like Vault Boy watching the candle of Fallout 3 be extinguished.

The red cloak symbolizes the cultishness of Fallout Fandom.

Did I miss this being explained before?
