A few pointless awards there, although edge magazine must think them important. Best and worse press release? Who cares?

Hmm.. Very interesting. I wouldn't have thought that Rez and Halo would have made so many appearances, but EDGE must know what they are doing. I agree with nearly everything there, but as I said, Rez and Halo are quite suspicious.
