You mean you don't have a new one already?

Good Lord, man.

Edit: Holy crap I opened this thread and was just going to post Company of Heroes as the best game of the year and be done with the thread. I just looked at the link, and hey, I was right. Pwn.
I had a blog. It sucked.

RoL got an award for art direction. Good call, I say. That game is awesome.

They gave HL2:EP1 best graphics? I haven't played EP1, but I assume it's just HL2 graphics with HDR. IMO, Oblivion should have won.

Nah, Oblivion wasn't really that pretty. They sort of cut corners in Oblivion graphics.

HL2, however, shouldn't have won. That's just sad.

Best Graphics should have gone to Oblivion. Honestly.

Episode 1

It was for Episode 1.

And yeah, Episode 1 didn't deserve best graphics.

Episode one uses a whole lot of HL2's resources. I don't even know why EP1 gets counted as it's own game. It's a standalone expansion.

There were games with much better graphics than HL2 ep1. Prey is a good example, I think.

Replace ep 1 with MoTS and HL2 with JK...
And welcome to 1998!
2006-12-19, 7:07 PM #14
Actually even for 1998 the graphics weren't 'of the year' material.

Hah. That's just sad... I only know four of the games on the top ten list. Two are by name only, one just from playing the Xbox demo.

I'm so out of the loop now for PC games.

The difference here is I've mostly removed myself from PC gaming entirely. I don't care to play things on my computer anymore. I'd much rather play them on my Xbox.

Aye. Console are great in the simple fact that you don't need to upgrade every ten minutes.

Why don't they have awards for 360?
2006-12-19, 8:50 PM #21
Oblivion was hideous, haha

I think I should win
2006-12-19, 8:59 PM #22
True.
Sextacular graphics.
