I live here now!
Elder Scrolls Motherfuckin' 5! SKYRIM!
Screw you all, I love the Elder Scrolls series and Oblivion was my favourite
It's set in Skyrim, which is gonna be the best place ever. Loads of snow, loads of drunk Nords, and the architecture is similar to Bruma, which was my favourite city Plus they'll be dragons! DRAGONS! And stuff.
I'm so happy it was finally confirmed. Due out for 11/11/11 too, so awesome. Eleven is my lucky number, so I figured that day was gonna be awesome >_>
That's if it doesn't get delayed, heh.
I would probably be excited about Mass Effect 3, but I still haven't played the second one yet, and the trailer kinda put me off with the whole alien invasion thing. Still, it looked sexy.

So excited that I cried when I saw the release was almost a year away. Also Sully.
Now Elder Scrolls V was something I wasn't expecting and I'm certainly unsure about it. On one hand Bethsoft must have at least learned something from F3 and Skyrim and the Nords are cool. On the other Gamebyro is the worst engine available and they're still using it, Oblivion still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Mass Effect 3 I couldn't care less about at this point. Considering what Bioware do it might end up being just a Gears of War clone.

The Mass Effect 3 trailer made me very happy, even though it was just a teaser trailer.
I've got to say I do agree with most of these choices, NFS hot pursuit was a good call and best music game is a given.
I have to question the Best Performance by a Human Male/Female category... it would seem to imply that a dog/alien might of been a contender before they specified that it was a human only category.
