Okami=Legend of Zelda+Mario Paint[QUOTE="FusionApex"]Dead rising is not more original then Okami. And that's why G4 sucks these days, the viewers vote these things. Zombies in a mall over the Japanese sun god in wolf form.DuDisNow
Dead Risisg=Only in movies+new game.
Which is more original in gaming!
Well okami, because zombie games have been around. I'm not sayying dead rising is a bad game, but okami is more original, in how many games can you pee on on your enemies with a wolf?
okay.. Gphoria is voted on. THe fact that 360 won best console proves that the majority of the people voting are 360 fans.
X-Play's GOTY was LoZ: TP

That's always the excuse any time Xbox games are getting good reviews and winning contests. Why not go on to the other favorite "Microsoft paid off Gphoria" while you're at it? :roll:

No :| a person or a group of people can be bias toward a certain consoles. If the ps3 wins the next Gphoria, I bet you won't be saying that...

It's a lame excuse, that's all it is. Xbox games winning means they're doing something right to rally so many supporters of that game in the 1st place. Since the voting is open to everybody, what does it say that there aren't as many people voting for the PS3 games? The Playstation fans are out there.
In fact it isn't just GS or G4 that praised Gears of War so highly, at E3 06 it was every single industry insider. So please, stop making excuses and accept reality already. You're just weakening your position when you fall back on this cheap tactic.
And it only goes one way here at GS. Nobody cries conspiracy theories when PS3 games get good press but as soon as it's an Xbox game, ohhhh it has NOTHING to do with any of its actual merits, it's just because of a strong disposition of fanboys. So next year if PS3 wins as best console or a PS3 game gets Game of the Year, no, you won't see an outcry of "its dominated by cows, this was so unbalanced". It's just the Xbox haters who think they can come up with a sensible rationale... and fail at it miserably.
Why are these awards so late? Dont they hand out awards earlier in the year to review all 2006 games? We're in August and it's almost 2008!
But I dont see why people are so angry either. It's not like a terrible game like Surf's Up won GOTY, it's Gears of War. Wikipedia even lists all of the editorial and industry awards it won, so it kind of makes sense dont you think?
We saw this with all sorts of GOTY winners like Half Life 2 and Ocarina of Time. The GOTY winners tend to dminate across many award "ceremonies"
Nobody takes G4 or casual shows like Gamehead seriously. G4 viewers voted Halo 2 game of the year over Resident Evil 4, what does that tell you?briguyb13
Well Halo 2 was released in the 2004 and RE4 in the 2005, and that tells you that more people like Halo 2 what's the problem with that? Both are awesome.
