    Their credability goes out the window when they give Cars adventure game of the year. Furthermore, Zelda should have taken that spot as it is more of an adventure game than RPG.

    Lol, yeah, I would have thought Zelda would be classed as Adventure as opposed to RPG, but Cars? That's hilarious Smilie
