EAT IT GAF!

 

[Duck of Death]

What's this!? Burnout 3 listed over Halo 2!?!?!

HAHAHA Gamespot am right! tsc tsc halo 2

 

[Lord Error]

MGS3 got robbed for visual arts again.

Konami needs to spread those sponsorship moneyhats, dammit >:|

 

[Ironclad]

EAT IT GAF!

So I guess Ubisoft is still sending out the checks?

 

[Wario64]

That Ubisoft viral marketeer is probably laughing at us now

 

[Eric-GCA]

I really do like the fact that Paper Mario is in the visual arts category, it shows that these awards do have some taste.

I'll be covering them this year again, should be fun.

 

[Alcibiades]

can someone fix the title, I have zero margin for error w/ no editing capabilities...

 

[Bristow]

Glad to see Pikmin 2 get props for game design. I think of the nominees listed, it deserves to win.

 

[el jacko]

If Katamari Damacy sweeps the awards I will LAUGH. :lol

Too bad for Snake Eater and Echoes, though... they deserved so much more...

 

[Speevy]

Go Pikmin 2. It's not going to win, but it deserves something.

 

[Mooreberg]

Pretty good list. They never seem to pick the same games as AIAS so it should be interesting.

 

[Vark]

I casted my votes earlier this morning, I tell you though, some of them were tough. Not so much because the nominee's were equal, but because I didn't think any of them deserved the win. I mean Burnout 3 is a great game, and I enjoy playing it.. but 'Best'? I mean really.

Looking forward to see who wins though (and looking forward to using my drink tickets after the ceremony :lol )

 

[Prine]

No Halo 2 for GOTY.

UH OH!

This................................. IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!

I demand answers, Jeeves, fetch my monacle, HOW DARE THEY!!!

 

[Prine]

Cerriously,

Why is Burnout up there??

 

[Ironclad]

You crazy British.

Cerriously,

Why is Burnout up there??

EA has very, very deep pockets. Personally, I would put Outrun 2 over Burnout 3 anyday, but that is just me.

 

[MetatronM]

I'd like to know what they were thinking with some of these nominees.


How did this make Visual Arts and MP2:E is nowhere to be found?

Because Paper Mario is superior in the visual arts compared to Metroid Prime 2?

 

[Tabris]

No Metal Gear Solid 3?

These awards are invalid

 

[DrLazy]

Because Paper Mario is superior in the visual arts compared to Metroid Prime 2?

Ding ding. Metroid Prime 2 deserves the "meh" award for 2004.

 

[Gazunta]

Best Game

Burnout 3: Takedown (Criterion Games / Electronic Arts)
- Paul Glancey

Zzap! 64 strikes again!!! HOOHA!!!!

 

[krypt0nian]

WoW!!!

 

[GDJustin]

Great list. It doesn't fall in line with my views 100%, but its far and away the most respectable and honest list of nominations out there.

 

[Borys]

LOL @ Prine and other bots. You can't have them all y'know?
