DonWii, MontanaHatchet, relax....nothing here to argue about.

I think we can all agree that there will be some games that are widely regarded as bad or just average (ie. Lair, Wii Sports, etc.) that many still love to play and regard it as great games, just like games that are widely regarded as wonderful, excellent, top-notch games (ie. Halo series, Mario series, Final Fantasy series, MGS series) that some people, for whatever reason, just don't like.

My point is that when you are describing a game on whether it is good enough or not good enough to win an award, your opinion matters. But it can't be stated as a fact. Even Red Steel can't be stated as a bad game, since there are people who still like it. A game only gets an award if popular opinion says its good enough, not individual opinion.

First off, with how many awards it has won, the acclaim it has received from outside the gaming press, and its massive sales I don't think you can say that Wii Sports is a "Bad" or "Average" game ...

Secondly, I think a large portion of the people who post on webforums have to learn that regardless of how popular games like Halo, Metal Gear, and The Legend of Zelda are they do not represent the gaming tastes of the majority of gamers ...
