From what I played of HALO (only about two hours), I can say that if it was that cool throughout it deserved game of the year.  Nice to see MGS2, GT3, and GTA3 do so well though.

The fact that they consider Baldur\'s Gate a roleplaying game invalidates their opinion anyway

why, cause its a role playing game?
:surprised

Wow, I am surprised GTA did that well. Don\'t get me wrong it is a great game I love playing it. Isn\'t also being discussed as a ban?
