Hi Phil, I actually asked JJ about that because I definately thought Sarah should have been on that list, but he said it was released in 2006, I'm not sure where he got his info. I myself did not even know of the awards until today, so I am not sure who nominated RR for it, he said several folks nominated it, but didn't tell me who. That is really too bad, because unless I am mistaken Sarah didn't actually get released until 2007, right? Thanks for the congrats man. What do you think of the idea of the list having a yearly awards for various game categories?
