I thought CoD4 was good but I don't think it should have won that many awards.  Also I don't think a game should win best soundtrack if all the music is licensed, I think it should go to a game which an original soundtrack.

Here I was complainin' about loss of pride and how life had treated me, and now I realized... I never had any pride
