No way. ETM was very flawed and glitchy as hell. (Probably get a 6.0/10 from me.) Return of the King should've gotten that award. Idiotic awards just can't wait to have the ceremony after 2003 ended. Bah.

[ZariusTwo]

Enter the Matrix?

BWAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh come on, that is god damn bull crap, as was the game itself

The real winner is SMACKDOWN: Here Comes the Pain

Bingo, that's exactly how it should have been done. That's how most mags do it, and it has always served them well. The real thing that irks me is that Nintendo didn't win anything. I mean how in the world can Nascar even begin to compete with F-Zero GX? The game was created by the two industry leaders (Nintendo & Sega) who hated each other and tried their darndest to abolish each other from the face of the earth over Nintendo's prez calling the wife of Sega's prez fat. Now they join together and create what I believe to be the greatest racing game of all time. Fast, crazy, huge, and awesome music. Heck, you can even build you're own machine and paint whatever you want on it. The thing should be treasured and yet I haven't seen it win anything, period. Heck, EGM will most likely crap on it in their awards because they think it's to difficult. It's hard because it's well made. If you can conquer Master class then you are a worthy gamer capable of anything. The VGA's sucked, blowed, and reeked. I think I'll leave it at that.

Kingdom Hearts,Viewtiful Joe,Mario Sunshine, NBA F&*#ING street vol 2 Didn't win anything?!!?!? -stryker

NBA Street Vol. 2 didnt win anything because its a sports game, and we all know sports games shouldnt win anything

Yeah Ben thats the thing you are dragged into the whole thing that you enjoy football and like the game Madden. But you got to look at it as a game not as how it appeals to football fans. As Mikey said sports games are fun for people that enjoy that sport and don't belong in a best game of the year category. Maybe have it's own category like Best Sports Game but then that would be a long awards having a Best Fantasy Best Shooter game but would be good.-~~Raphael~~

Yeah some dont like sports games, but some may not like shooters or other types of games. Like some people said they thought Zelda the Windwaker was a game and should of won.....well what about people like me, who hate those kind of games. Not everyone is going to like all types of games, and this is why i think its ****ing stupid why people say sports games dont deserve an game of he year award.[/quote]

[Bowser_Koopa]

is not that they don't deserve to win becuase they are sport games, is that there are better games, and i hear madden has a lot of games and they are all very alike, they just get updated and improved every year

[ThirdMarioBro]

thank you.

Well, without having played Nascar whatever, I daresay F-Zero GX is the racer of the year. Nothing else to add to topic than that those awards sucked, badly.

Hell, I'm stunned to death that the pop worshiping idiots didn't give anything to Britney's Dance Beat. At least they have a little sanity.

Hey I liked that game!


I haven't played much of Enter the Matrix but it prolly won best game from a movie cause it had videos from the movie that had to do with the storyline.

[Voltron]

People, please.

Sports games are great for so many reasons.

1) Why play something outside when you can do it indoors? This way, you don't have to worry about sweating.

2) Why would you pay nothing to play something when you could be spending $60-$70 to do the same thing.

3) I don't know about you guys, but I don't buy video games to escape from reality. Who wants to fly when you could run? Who wants a sword when you could use a ball? Who wants to fire bullets when you can fire passes?

4) Why spend money on something new, when you can buy something that was out last year BUT NOW COMES WITH UPGRADED STATS!!!???

Who cares what Link does? I heard that Donovan McNabb can run .133% faster in Madden 2005. And that you can actually hear the players fart, its that realisitc!

[Eye of Sarnath]

Classic. And 110% true, too.

the only thing im mad about is that metal gear solid didnt win anything

And which award should it have gotten? "Best Game That Didn't Come Out This Year"?

And I think we all know why Enter the Matrix won an award... because it was just so fun. I mean, don't you have fun when the game freezes in the middle of a loading screen?
I could write an essay on how crappy that game was, but I won't. If you ever make a game, just look to it for things to NOT do.

well, MGS3 or Twin Snakes would be eligible for Most Anticipated (although it's still a stretch since Half Life 2 is the obvious choice).

That your'e opinion that there are better games. Alike???? No. you obvioulsy no nothing about them. Of course they will improve and update......what are they gunna do, downgrade to crappy graphics/gameplay and use an old, out dated roster??? No crap its updated and impoved Please. Its a great game and it deserves to at least be mentioned for a game of the year. Plus, it sold great and its obvious people loved it.

Gosh dang do you even listen to yourself? What you said about Zelda is wrong. Has nothing to do with if you like it or anything just the story graphics audo game play all that wonderful stuff to make a game good. Madden games just seem to be a repeat its just improved and roster changes and maybe a few added things but it's still the same concept. And yeah GK they really did do something stupid saying that was the best racing game like come on!

[malignant]

I dont want to read threw this whole thread, but i just noticed it....so..ignore me if its been said...=]

But as you all converse over what games didnt deserve to win.....Keep in mind.....the VGA's wasnt a REAL video game award show.....it was nothing more then promoting video Games for christmas.

Allthey did was name off games that needed a boost to sale, nothing more.

[Voltron]

yeah, but it still sucked.

[Demonfox38]

Amen, brother.

*steals Little Wyvern* I LOVE THIS GX MACHINE!!! *VROOM!*

and you obiously don't know anything about Zelda, despite its stupid graphics this game is really good, and btw i don't think madden sold more than WW, if it did, it didn't sell more than POKEMON YELLOW, which i think is the game that has sold best so far, and imo, blue is batter. i'm not 100% sure, but i know if madden was the most sold game i would know.

and btw, i'm not saying is madden is not a great game, or that it doesn't deserve to mentioned. And please lets not turn this into an argument,

I never said Madden sold more than WW. I just said it sold very well.
Pizza Power- If it's a good game...its a good game. It doesnt matter if its sports.

[Barkworm]

Three things:
1) I'll kill anyone who complains about the graphics of WW.
2) Voltron's comment on sport games just made my day!
3) This VGA show sounds like the dumbest award crap I've heard about in a long time. But why bother about it?
