Yes, the winner have been announced and though ARKHMAM CITY did not win game of the year (like most people where expecting) and I was terribly dissapointed that MARK HAMILL did not win the Best Performance by a Human Male award, his ‘alter ego’ was able to nail the CHARACTER OF THE YEAR. YES! the Joker got his award after his incredible run in video games.
For those interested, here is a list of the winners, and the Arkham City awards will be highlighted.
