Sorry i should have clarified. The awards are done in 2009 (i think) so the red refers to past winners blue refers to current candidates. The scores at the end refer to current meta critic scores

I have no clue what my life as a king is about. Do you really think it will earn a nomination? I know its a wii game and it uses wii fit

I think Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles MLAAK will earn a nomination as well.  It's a highly-addictive WiiWare title and is very satisfying (especially for $15).  It does not use the balance board.

I think LittleBigPlanet might get some nominations as well.

Banjo 3 for adventure if it comes out this year.  Too Human not sure when that is coming out though or even how good it will be.

Wouldn't Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My life as a king go under Down loadable games also  since it is on wiiware

Yeah, Im pretty positive it was Bioshock. Funny that that game didn't get that much recognization as that of Halo 3 yet it was way better IMO.

Xbox live, psn and wii ware stuff don't get nominated under downloadable games from AIAS but maybe this yr it will change

Its too soon to make a call for too human.

I know neither have set dates, but they are set for this year

both look awesome, action-packed and really immersive

especially The Agency with the way you can carry out certain things WITH YOUR OWN PHONE!!!!!

both are revolutionary, a crappy expansion to a crappy, boring game (WoW) should NOT win MMO GOTY

something fresh and intriguing should get that
