Gaming - Game critics awards - View Post

I think they're an indication of the quality of the games at least those parts of the games shown at E3. I find it hard to understand why "awards don't matter", what's next, saying reviews don't matter? I guess if a lot of people buy a game it's all that matters but just like in movies I think quality is important and deserves recognition.

Its not that "awards are meaningless" but these awards really are meaningless ... What would the value be in giving out awards for the best Movies/Trailers? Why aren't awards given out for the best 3 paragraph description of a novel that is written on the back cover?

The dumbest thing is that games can continuely winn awards simply by showing up at multiple E3s ...

2007 Winners of Note:

Mass Effect
Heavenly Sword
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Assassin's Creed
Spore

2006 Winners of Note

Spore

How on earth do you give a game an award 3 years before it has been released based on a pre-rendered video?
