UT Action Game of the Year.
Now I'm even
more disappointed with your Looneytunegames site. I have
never really liked it. Sorry.
As far as UT
as Action Game of the Year, there is just so many bad things
I want to critizice about your site, that I'll just let
you figure out what I am thinking about it.
I don't know
how people like Paul Steed even dares to have a column in
your site.

Yes, I'm a stupid
diehard Quaker, the kind of people that has made your host,
Blue's News, what it is today.

Im
a diehard Quaker too, but I can understand why certain people
here chose UT over Q3. Everyone has their own opinions,
our awards are ours. We just tell you what were thinking
instead of making you figure it out.

Game of the Year Awards...
Greetings loony
gamers,
How does Final
Fantasy 8 win 'console game of the year', when it was a
PlayStation game? Clearly you felt Silent Hill was the better
Playstation game, as evidenced by your 'Playstation game
of the year' award. Does this make sense?
Over at www.Gamespot.com,
they gave Everquest 'game of the year' but Planescape: Torment
was judged a superior RPG, taking home 'RPG of the year'.
Everquest was a nominee for this award. Something funny
is going on here.
I'm sure countless
other publications have made similar conflicting judgements.
In future perhaps it would make more sense to make the 'best
of <genre>' winners the nominees list for 'game of
the year'.
Or am I just
nuts? :)
-KF-
You're right,
actually, it's something I think nearly every publication
does. Games that don't get 'game of the year' win the best
in their category, instead of one game sweeping the list.
I guess it makes for more awards to give away, but it is
kinda strange, huh.
