Cracking is a term used most frequently by posh people, who all live in the south.
In other news, I'm totally pig sick of games awards. What a load of self-serving wank.
They need new categories!
Game most likely to stop TigerUppercut thinking about girls off Hollyoaks
Game that was actually interesting
Most hilarious Sega blunder*
Most outrageous Sega lie*
Most ruined Sega franchise*
Most closed down Sega Europe office*
Award for being s**t, and doomed, and s**t. Also doomed and called Sega, especially Sega Europe*
You see, that would be more interesting! Any more?
*Only open to Sega.

Dude, Absolutely! And they take themselves SOOOO f'kin seriously. Jesus, the only awards they ought to offer are "Game that Sold Most" and "Game that had most marketing money pissed away on it". That way, they'd only need one trophy.

What's your problem with SEGA for god's sake? Did Tiggy-bears mamma and dadda buy him a DreamCube just before they stopped making games. His he all tired and needs his nap. Stob bitchin dude, SEGA will be long after you start wearing long trousers, and that can't be anytime soon.

How about "most obvious to win an award" award, for being a rip off of an 8-bit or 16-bit classic?
Next year, we have F-18 Intercepter 2005, Trollie Wallie 3D and Chickie Egg FPS.
Make new games!!
