Well it's a mixed bag, let's be honest. :D

Some pretty obvious stuff - Mario Galaxy best game. It's a masterpiece.

Then they go and spoil things by giving Call of Duty 4 best… story. :D

Eh? Some terrorists iz shootin at some nice peeps, SAVE THE NICE PEEPS!11!

Best story? I could better said story in 15 minutes, writing only with a carrot stump dipped in beetroot juice, on the back of 20 Bensons.

Foolish.

I agree, there are far better storys our there, although I did like COD4's ending (ignoring the 'plane bit at the very end).

And when was COD4 released?

I'll tell you. November 2007. Mario Galaxy was released? Oh November 2007.

These awards should have a proper dating system like the Oscars. Both COD 4 & Mario Galaxy should not have even been on the voting list.
