Warhawk should win best PS3 game.
But still it seems this awards are xbox fans.
I think we all know who is going to win best graphics.
I mean, no Galaxy in Best Original Score? No Call of Duty 4 in Breakthrough Technology? (instead they put Halo 3, which is basically just Halo 2 with upgraded graphics, how is that breakthrough?) No Nintendo EAD Tokyo in Studio of the Year?
The worst of all has to be the GOTY awards. They have Mass Effect listed, yet that game doesn't even release until November 20th. Orange Box is not even a full-brand new game, half of it is recycled from previous games. And Halo 3?? Come on. I guess Mario Galaxy's 97% average review score is not good enough to make the award show.
That game sucks major ass!
Faces some Stiff Competition though...
And yeah, I think Halo 3 is overhyped as well, not a bad game I'm sure, but the hype doesn't reflect the quality of the work...
It is like saying ZOMG! Apple juice is TASTY! Surely the best drink of all time! I mean, sure 'apple juice' is 'tasty', but no way it is the best 'drink' of all time >_>
You know what to sub in for the single quoted sections >_>
I can think of plenty other good games that are far more eligible for GOTY than Halo 3...Bioshock, maybe, but Halo is just overrated.
And how, again, did Halo 3 get nominated for breakthrough tech? It's no different than most FPS, except it's 'Halo'. The graphics aren't even amazing either.
I think some judges are being paid, or are just biased-ly stupid.
Nominations:
Best Anything Ever EVER:
Halo 3
Bioshock
The Orange Box
Every Other Category:

At what pm? o_0
orange box should win every category its nominated in. and im not talking about episode 2 or portal, team fortress 2 just blows them out of the water. if TF2 was released on its own then that would still win everything it was nominated for.
I don't see much wrong with the list. I'll admit, Halo 3 may not deserve to be on the GOTY nominations and if it wins, I'll be disappointed. But I just find it a little ironic that some of you guys are so biased out the ass that you can't even accept Mass Effect and BioShock are that good.
