Video Game Home Entertainment Awards: Gears of War as Game of the Year |
Ó
Big titles like Gears of War which sold a lot for its mother console are bound to get awards from all places. A good example is Entertainment Merchants Association's (EMA) Video Game Home Entertainment Awards 2007, in which Gears of War racked up four awards.
GoW bagged "Xbox 360 Game of the Year", "Shooter/Military Game of the Year", "Best Game Graphics of the Year", and the ultimate "Game of the Year" awards. All games released between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007 were eligible, but GoW took the cake.
For handhelds, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories grabbed "DS Game of the Year" and "PSP Game of the Year" awards respectively. Lego Star Wars II' PS2 edition also took the win in its own category.
Resistance: Fall of Man dominated the PS3, while launch title Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was branded the best game on Wii. WoW: The Burning Crusade took both "PC Game of the Year" and "RPG/Strategy Game of the Year" awards.
Here's the rest of the list:
- Most Innovative Game of the Year - Guitar Hero II
- Casual Game of the Year: Guitar Hero II
- Fighting Game of the Year - WWE Smackdown! vs RAW 2007
- Racing Game of the Year - Need for Speed
- Sports Game of the Year - Madden NFL 07

dontuts please my i please have some donuts
Nice, game of teh year, i say rightly earned
SvR07 is a great fighting game i don't see why you feel there is a problem with it being up there. Now Need for Speed i find weird.
Where the hell is Super Rub A Dub???!!!!!!
HOW WAS GuitaR HERO TWO INNOVATIVE, THERE WAS ALREADY A GUITAR HERO ONE???DUHHH
Crappy award, crappy categories and crappy nominations. GoW = the true God of War > GeoW
I'd say Gears deserves the first 3 awards, but there were quite a few better games last year, so GotY seems a bit much. Then again, if they awarded the horribly buggy and broken DS version of Lego Star Wars the DS game of the year it makes me rather suspicious of the whole thing, does anyone on the jury actually play games?
guess not..... ^^
in your dreams...multiplayer adds 10x more replay factor...god of war is boring after one run through
Ahhh no PS3 games again then..
