Five Nominations For Rage? None For LittleBigPlanet 2 & Killzone 3? Does Not Compute.

While it's a particularly strong showing, our heart goes out to Guerrilla Games who were given nothing but praise for Killzone 3 throughout this year's showing and have seemingly been pipped at the post. LittleBigPlanet 2 is also notably absent. Id's Rage, however, somehow scooped five nominations. Is there any justice in this world?

The full list of nominees is after the jump.
