Pretty amazed, but RIFT is nominated for the Best Newcomer of 2011! Dunno if it will win as there is some strong competition, but still shows that someone out there recognises talent!

EDIT: Hmmm, actually competition in this category ain't too tough:
Bastion, Eufloria, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, L.A. Noire, Monstermind, RIFT.
