Behold... a shitload of GTA: San Andreas love. What really got me though was that Resident Evil 4 appears in a film-based-games category (and wins), and that up until voting closed they must have still thought people in the UK would be able to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess this Christmas. Oops!

It took me a while to dig up a post that mentioned nominees. Anyway, here they are again, winners bolded.

GTA:SA is incredible, its easily deserving of all of those awards except best villain, because Tenpenny was nothing special. Id prefer to see Boss on that list but id go for Volgin of the chosen.


I love when people say "OMG TAT DECISIONS SUX!!!!" without saying what their opinion is. It tells me that they know their opinion is totally without justifyable merit.
 
Retarded results which reflect the retarded "gamers" in the UK.

And why the hell are The Sun and Nuts magazine getting involved? The people who read those are all unemployed 40-year-olds who don't know the difference between a PS2 and a toilet seat. Their vote was probably based on the images given to the corresponding game. Anything that had a gun in it got an instant vote.
