I have to say I am somewhat disappointed Lionhead Studios didn’t make it into the Developer rankings but other than that a great set of results I think.
How Fallout beat FF:XIII in RPG I'll never know…
Otherwise pretty accurate
Personally I think it is because FF:XIII was just a series of corridors (coming from a huge FF fan) and the fact it was graphically amazing didn't do enough to surpass the linear feeling that chased the player around. Normally I would instantly dismiss any game being better then a Final Fantasy RPG but I really think Fallout deserved to come second I would personally go as far as saying it deserved to win 1st place but it would appear I am in the minority here.
Surprised that Uncharted 2 didn't get a mention, though I can't really argue with any of the winners.
