Hey, no more “Best Voice Acting Award Goes to Whoever Bothered to Show Up (And Is Hot)?”
I never bothered after the first one. Seeing Flock of Seagulls they way they were was far too depressing.
Dammit! Oblivion sucks, what gives? Game of the year my butt. Oh and Colossus is more of an experience than a game but that’s cool, as long as it wins something.
I found GPhoria cheesy, but still entertaining…kind of like how I find Conan O’Brien entertaining.
And Oblivion was a helluva game that did a lot to suck you into their world and make you feel you accomplished something, which turn-based RPGs have a hard time doing. It isn’t a perfect game, but it definitely deserved it.
