Wow very telling when EA takes award for "originality" and walks away with 4 more. Add the recent buzz about EAP and their work with Valve/id and we are talking about a whole new company.

A very promising list, I think, showing that the games industry is very healthy and that there's room for original concepts. If there was a category for Best Preview or something like that, I'm sure "Flower" would be on these critic's lists as well.
