Roll out the red carpet! Leipzig Messe has just announced the winners for the "Best of GC" during the Leipzig Games Convention 2007. The awards span across all current generation platforms and other industry-related tidbits showcased during the event, all dispersed under ten respective categories.

Among the list of 85 hardware and software entries, a lineup of finalists have been revealed. And with those finalists, it seemed to be a tough call on which to choose as the winner. Each of the finalists had their own big plus to bring into the table, that's for sure. Regardless, the winners have already been announced.

Here's the full list of winners of the Best of GC, each in their own category:
  • God of War: Chains of Olympus (Sony Computer Entertainment) - PSP
  • Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Konami) - PS2
  • Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Konami) - PS3
  • BioShock (Take-Two Interactive) - Xbox 360
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega) - Nintendo Wii
  • Eye Training (Nintendo) - Nintendo DS
  • Crysis (Electronic Arts) - PC
  • Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (Eidos) - Online
  • Wii Balance Board - Hardware/Accessory/Product
An award was supposed to have been given for the Mobile category, however, there weren't enough participants to have warranted the prize.

OK I am sure this game is going to be great, but no where near as good as Crysis and Bioshock

It only won the best psp game category.



Also WTF IS PES08 doing ontop of both PS2 and PS3? There was much better showing of PS3 games at GC than f'n PES08.

theres obviously something seriously wrong when Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Sega) is the Wii's best showing. lol

» Actually,

'Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games' isn't even only the Wii's best showing, it's apparently the best overall game. I'm kind of disappointed, really. Not that it's a bad game or anything, but surely there's better stuff coming out this year - on any of the 3 platforms... And definitely on PC.

Yeah, I agree with hush. Maybe they could've chosen a game that actually uses the PS3's potential. I mean really, it's a PS2 game, there's WAY better stuff than PES. Really, quite a pity...



I'm happy to see Crysis and Age of Conan both on the list though :)

If these were the winners then that is some piss poor event, Eye Training! PES! The only good games on that list are God of War and BioShock!

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link,

http://easydough.notlong.com

you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products. Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate, I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from \"KNGSIDE MEDIA\" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true, but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day) You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS. Think it\'s a scam? Read this(from the website) \"We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you\'re asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!\" There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers! [NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!] VISIT HERE FOR MORE INFO, MORE PICX OF CHEQUES, TIPS AND GUIDE FOR EASY CASH! http://easydough.notlong.com AND FOR A QUICK PROOF OF PAYMENT....

Are you on crack, you can't compare God of War chains of Olympus to bioshock and crysis, there all different games.



Compare bioshock and Halo 3 and you would clearly see halo 3 sucks in comparison. And Crysis is looking good but can't be compared to GOW



Also im not surprised its number one.
