PoorLepRecon Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Super Smash Bros. Brawl should have been a nominee for the multiplayer. I also don't see Boom Blox being best Wii game, but I havn't played it so I don't know how good it is. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia should have gotten the handheld win, not Layton :? Wii Music had no chance in the music category :lol: Forum Updates & Suggestions <------ Let your voice be heard!Forum Games <------- Coolest place on Tip.ItTip.It Forum Rules <------- Read them!

pennywise Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Some of these games are ridiculous and shouldn't be on there. Eight Bananas, MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Music had no chance in the music category :lol: Right, haven't played it but you think it's undeserving of the title. =/ It was much better than Brawl. Brawl was repetitive, and repetitive, and repetitive, and repetitive.

Vidi Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Burnout Paradise wasn't that good IMO. GTA IV shouldn't of got GOTY either. The game got so damn boring.

mervinator_9 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 GTA IV shouldn't of got GOTY either. The game got so damn boring. Meh... I thought the 30 hours of story were good but once that was done it was probably the most boring Gta so far. Not sure it was should have won game of the year though, The only other game on the game of the year list Ive played is gears 2 and that certain shouldn't have won. Its massively glitched in places and the multiplayer feels rushed. Good to see Little big planet doing well, always nice to see a developer doing something original imo, Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

Harakiri Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 ^^^Cool Dark Tower avvie man. Otherwise, I watched it and it was a pathetic excuse for anything. First of all, Jack Black hosted it, which completely screwed it from the start. Secondly, it had GTA4 as the game of the year, which I cannot wholely disagree on, it was a great game, but there is no definitive game of the year, personally, knock out Fallout 3 and Gears, and those are the three greatest games of the year. Ones not better than the other, I found all of them to be perfectly good. Also, they showed the preview for Brutal Legend. Too much Jack Black, I finally see the preview, and I said: "Holy [cabbage]...what the hell is this?" First of all, it had Jack Black in it, second of all, it was a horrible preview. Third of all, it has not found a publisher. And then weezer had to show, and they sounded like [cabbage]... The VGA's were a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I heard Jack Black actually did a good job at hosting it, one of the few good things. Fallout 3 a GoTY contender? Really? The game was a huge disappointment and the combat ended up getting boring with just Run up to target > VATS > Head/Head/Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 wtf@Goty. Gow2 and gta4 shouldn't be on there. Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Honestly I would name Dead Space of Left4dead GoTY. Only reason I would probably do Dead Space over L4D though is because L4D hasn't reached it's potential yet through mods and such (which I'm waiting for :D).

Straw_Hat Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I would've chosen Metal Gear Solid 4 as GOTY. Never played Boom Blox but now i must lol, same as the Professor Layton thing Kaizoku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzs Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What is the criteria for "best graphics"? Pretty general, can mean anything from most realistic to best art direction or whatever, probabl accounts for the lack of PC ports except F3.

InkofDeath Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well that was a bad list of nominees, and winners. SSBB won nothing, and wasn't included in two categories it should have been in. Yea, nice. The major winning titles were all the large hyped up, big marketed games...good fight TV, but I'll stick to the various gaming sites for honest awards. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Boom Blox? Seriously? Man, that game blew like a cheap- no, no, bad Lenin. But still, seriously? And what about all the other categories of games? Adventures, horror, and yes, even JRPGs. Do they not get awards? And how did Braid not win, with all its atomic bombeyness?

Riku3220 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I don't get it, GTA4 was only nominated for one other thing and lost, and it's suddenly the game of the year? This is rigged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 EDIT Rewards from Edge Best Game: LittleBigPlanet Best Innovation: LittleBigPlanet Best Visual Design: LittleBigPlanet Best Audio Design: Dead Space Best Hardware: Xbox 360 Best Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios Best Online Experience: Left 4 Dead Best Developer: Media Molecule. I don't think I would call LBP best game. Don't get me wrong I love the game one of my favorites I've got this year but I just don't think it deserves GOY award. GTA4 or MGS4 would have gotten my vote instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I don't believe anything EDGE says. Last year they voted Halo 3 for best innovation when it didn't even come out that year (and was anything but innovative) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, Dead space had excelent audio just like Left4dead had awesome multiplayer. Still that seems like a lot of awards to give to Littlebigplanet.
