nice
Oops was meant to say Nice.. AOEIII won best intel online
all the contenders who won an award all earned it, and deserved it.
what handheld machine did it come out on and have any of you guys at qj.net played it
EA, is that a joke? it's only doing remakes and poor stuff...
EA blows, and they have crap games they dont deserve anything but a smack in the face
The Uk is one place i dont trust when it comes to voting for things like these, its like they never choose the right option when voting for movies, music or games.
Do they Really think EA is good?WTF THEY *****ING SUCK
give credit where credit is due. it's by bethesda, get it right.
most of the games are rubbish, lasts years winners were better lol
I hate it when games that simply dish out money and sign other people's work for their soundtrack with the 'best soundtrack award'.
Games that have a custom soundtrack such as Oblivion in this case should be the ones considered. You can't hear the Oblivion sountrack on the radio, and IMO at least, it added/fit the game far better than the NFSMW soundtrack fit the racer...
Everybody was just annoyed they couldn't select Twilight Princess for anything, lolgg.
Can't believe NFS got Soundtrack of the Year (That should go to Shadow of the Collosus, which IMO is one of the best PERIOD).
EA shouldn't of gotten publisher of the year, that should of gone to either a) Nintendo -- For making the best comeback in almost the history of Video Games, almost dead to back in the limelight or b) Rockstar -- Putting up with Thompson's ***** and STILL making quality titles. I mean, what the hell has EA done that's been so uber? Release a few franchise titles? Is that it? Honestly.
The CVG one to watch I say should of been the Wii, to be honest. Despite the good comments from people in the know, it still hasn't undergone mass public analysis yet. Most people's reaction of the PS3 is going to be "Looks good, but too expensive". Where as the Wii is risking quite a bit with it's graphically inferior games and crazy new control scheme. That's why I think it's the one to watch 2007, but that's just me.
I agree with everything else, mind.
I can definitely make some predictions for next year, hehehe.
