Third Annual SmartMark's Video Game Awards!

I gotta chime in for Half-Life 2 for PC game and dump THUG2. I also think that FarCry and HL2 should warrant some consideration for best graphics. How about Burnout 3 for best sound?

[Golgo 13 0]

Ninja Gaiden for Best Graphics. Possibly MGS 3 and Pandora Tomorrow. Or Halo 2 in place of the latter.

 

Replace either of the bowling games with MX Unleashed.

 

Massive Hype doesn't seem right without San Andreas. Replace Deception.

 

Throw in Donkey Konga for Best GC Game, and we may as well do the same for MGS 3 on the PS2 side.

 

And upon further review, according to IGN, Need for Speed was released last year.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Metal Gear Solid 3 has replaced Gradius V in Action. Also added to Best Graphics and Best PS2 Game.

 

Ninja Gaiden has been placed into Best Graphics. Yet has no other nomination in any other category. Just point that out.

 

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has replaced Deception for Massive Hype (category has been religated to Sub).

 

Driving has been slashed into half due to the unreliability of us getting games. At least this way, we are assured the games are correct.

 

Burnout 3 has been added for Best Sound.

 

Donkey Konga was added to Best Sleeper, Best Creativity and Best GC game (replaced THUG2).

 

Half-Life 2 replaces THUG2 for Best PC game and also replaced Dead or Alive Ultimate for Action.

 

Halo 2 has been added to nearly any and all categories I can manage.

 

Might've missed some other changes, you'll probably find them before I remember them.

 

Considering we've still got some time to kill (November 29th is the cut off date since I don't have any complaints for games after this date, that and most of the good games got pushed into next year), I've added four more categories. Before people kill me, these are the final ones I'm adding in people (unless I get bitched at for more, which I doubt will happen). Best Plot, Best Villian, Best Hero, Best Originality. For those of you curious, the game that has the Best Villian and Best Hero will gain points towards its game.

 

I've pretty much filled in the Best Hero, need four more for Best Villian, some of Best Plot, and some for Best Originality. Other than that, just fill in what is needed or ask for replacements.

 

Thanks for the putting up with me. We almost have everything set.

Metal Gear Solid 3 isn't listed on the Best PS2 game for 2004 category.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Metal Gear Solid 3 isn't listed on the Best PS2 game for 2004 category.

Why so it isn't... Hm... See? What I'd tell ya. I might've missed something.

 

Fixed, taken out Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005.

[Guest fanofcoils]

Half Life 2 for best graphics, sound, gameplay, and best shooter?

[Lightning Flik 0]

Half Life 2 for best graphics, sound, gameplay, and best shooter?

For Best Graphics, Sound, and Gameplay, which game would you like me to take out to replace it with Half-Life 2?

 

There is no shooter category. There is only Action. If I haven't already put it in that category, please select which game you would like taken out of that one.

[Renegade 0]

I dont see the Street fighter AC there. Also no Taiko drum master.

[AndrewTS 0]

I dont see the Street fighter AC there. 

Come on, half-assed updates of old fighting games shouldn't cou--oh wait, two half-assed updates of older fighting games are the only real fighting games even nominated for Spike's awards.

 

I say add that, kill Manhunt. (Do they have to be in the same category?)

[GeneMean 0]

There is no shooter category. There is only Action. If I haven't already put it in that category, please select which game you would like taken out of that one.

 

*cough*

 

Shooter:

01) Halo 2 – Xbox

02) Unreal Tournament 2004 – PC

03) The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay – Xbox

04) Doom 3 – PC

05) Call of Duty: United Offensive – PC

 

If HL2 has to replace one of those, then I suggest tossing Doom 3 or the CoD expansion pack. (hurts to say that)

Geezus, I'm putting that damn thing into a Word document. Last straw. I don't even remember what I do and don't have.

 

I'll have that fixed for Halo 2 now in shooter.

 

BTW, someone fill some of the new categories I just added, do that, and I'm all finished.

Best villain = The Boss(MGS3)

Well, if it came out this year, it would be in.

 

I currently only need games suggested for Originality and Sleeper. After that, the voting will begun on the 30th of November.

[Renegade 0]

It came out in the form of the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection this year. What's the problem? Unless you had a dreamcast or owned an arcade cab there wasn't any way of you obtaining it.

[Lightning Flik 0]

If you want the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection in, then yes. I'll enter it in exchange for one game you wish to replace.

[Renegade 0]

Whichever one was the least popular.

[Lightning Flik 0]

You have to choose, as these were lists I came up with and then just wanted people to add and take out what they thought shouldn't be there.

[Renegade 0]

Guilty Gear X2 Reload for the x-box. It might be a good game but I'm pretty sure very few people have it.

[Lightning Flik 0]

If someone would ever be so kind as to add some more to Originality and Sleepers, it would be appreciated.

[AndrewTS 0]

I'd suggest dropping Max Impact.

I don't see Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow on there. Most of the guys on my Friends List from Black Arrow that bought Halo 2 are already back to playing Black Arrow or are now playing Ghost Recon 2.

 

Halo 2 was over-hyped like a bitch.

I'll only take Halo 2 off if three people agree Halo 2 does not belong on the listing. I'm a little hesistant to just drop Halo 2 since most people love it.

 

Please note that voting will being on the 30th. If the final categories are not filled by someone, I'll just chuck whatever I can think of for those categories.

[Anya 0]

Halo 2 is GOTY. It needs to stay.

[Lightning Flik 0]

We'll see what happens after the votes are in and tallied.

 

However it is a strong canidate.

I'm not saying Halo 2 doesn't belong there. But Rainbow Six 3 or Black Arrow sure as hell do.

If think so, will change. Put in for The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay! Yeah, that what I do.

 

Voting begin tomorrow.

 

Oh... Katamari Damacy win Sleeper and Originality. Why? No game would win other.

 

...when drugged sound like Choko. Ugh...

[Lightning Flik 0]

Today is November 30th. Please cast your 1st, 2nd and 3rd votes for which game you think deserves an Award. I would like to receive all votes via PM so I can easily access them, so please send them via PM.

 

There is no "Game of the Year" because the Game of the Year will be the game that obtains the most voting points (check first post for details) in total of all the games.

 

You must vote in every category, other wise your voting will not be accounted for.

 

Voting shall end a week from today. So on Monday at Midnight.

You know, I haven't had a single voting thing for this at all...

 

So were we actually going to like, do this or did I put the effort in for nothing?

This is why I didn't PM you a vote. Example: I don't have an X-Box so why should I cast a vote?
