G-Phoria Awards Out of The Bag

Posted by Zonk on from the another-crappy-awards-show dept.

Gamasutra has coverage of the winners of this week's G-Phoria awards. Despite the fact that the show won't be televised until August 9th, they've released the winners via the press. Some of the winners: "Best Adaptation: LEGO Star Wars, Best Action Game: God of War, Best Boss: Halo 2 - Scarab Battle, Best Cinematic: God of War, Best Graphics: Half-Life 2, Best Handheld Game: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Best Innovation: Katamari Damacy"

  1. Halo 2 is not Game of the Year material. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    It shouldn't even be in the top 5 considerations. Titles that easily beat it in every category:

    Resident Evil 4
    God of War
    World of Warcraft
    Katamari Damacy
    Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory
    Half-Life 2
    DooM 3

    All of those titles show more innovation, advancement, cinematic qualities, and pure quality than any single part of Halo 2.

    However, Halo 2 did sell a lot of copies. So I guess that's how it is decided now.
