i guess it won't be Rob Yescombe from FRD then, despite them thinking Haze script is worth a Bafta....

yescombe is famously (or rather, within the industry, notoriously) rude - and also a dreadful writer.

In fairness, I think Haze missed the cut off point in April. Next year will be pretty tough: Haze, Fable 2, Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia: Prodigy, GTA IV...
