Max Payne nominated for best original character?!?!? OH COME ON!
-
max payne didnt deserve any of those... but its still a top game
i still think GTA3 is overrated...
-
Wow.. Halo and ICO made almost every list... and MGS2 only made one! Talk about a surpise verdict seein as how MGS2 was getting "Game of the Show" at E3 when it wasn\'t even playable!!
-
glad to see one of my fave PC games get an award
Erik Kraber & Jack Grillo for sound design in CLIVE BARKER\'S UNDYING
that game rocked
-
Bob, we agree on something! GTA3 is a terribly overrated game.

dont get me wrong, its still fun.. and has plenty of great things about it...but c\'mon...its no Metal Gear Solid...its no Final Fantasy...pfft is alli can say :D
-
GTA3 is not overrated at all. It\'s a great game, it\'s actually one of the few games that\'s worth buying
the Final Fantasy series is overrated IMO. What a f\'in chore to play.
-
It\'s nice to see that a game like ICO and the team behind it are getting the praise they deserve.
-
yeah ico was an awesome game. Its truely awestriking. Im glad that the developers got their props. :)

actually ICo is dominating the list by far
Halo = 3 nominations
ICO = 6 nominations
still impressive though
-
GTA3 should be replaced by Pikmin in the innovation department, IMO.
GTA3 (no matter how awesome it is) is just a 3D sequel to GTA 1 and 2. Pikmin is new.
-
Eh? How in the HELL did Cel Damage get any nominations? Same with Max Payne, I mean sure it was a fun game but it wasn\'t exactly anything new, \'cept the gimmick "bullet-time".
-
My vote goes for GT3 and HALO the best on the PS2 and the best on the B-izox.
-

Well I havent played all of em......but I think ff7 and ff10 are the oly too not overated games of the series. IMO ff7 is underated it appeared number 76 out of the top 100 games! It practically was the father of all RPG\'s! And GTA3 is not overated its a great game! I was suprised not to see any GC games on the Game Of the Year list. SSBM is awsome probally the best party game made. And Star Wars........it was almost as good as MGS2 and this suprised us all......MGS2 was not one of the games of the year!
-
SSBM is a fun game.
Star Wars is a pretty average game though.
-
Ico is a great game... Some friends never played it, but they say it sucks... They are so weird.. I love that game, and it brings back memories everytime I play it. I\'m gonna have to let Bladez borrow it..
-
why wasn\'t DMC included in the game arts list
the game is a artistic masterpiece IMO
-
Yeah ico... what a great game. I dont think that the ff series is overrated. FF10 is soo much fun its insane. Its funny how soo many people say that its just soo repetitive. I dont happen to think so. There are plenty of defferent elements that revamps the new game. FF7-10 + Tactics etc. are fun as hell and offer a lot of defferences IMO. Devil May Cry was dope i just regret that it was so short. Eventhough I still think its worthy of a buy, depending on what you like. SSMB:M is really fun but once you get most of the characters and some of the challenges its pretty much multiplayer from there. Not everyone can enjoy every extra. Its great dont get me wrong but i think its overrated. GTA 3 isnt that overrated. Again its all in the eye of the beholder. I could play that game all day. :)
-
I played ICO demo........that game was wack! But then again it was the demo.
