Forums - Gaming - BAFTA game award results: COD4 3 awards, Super Mario Galaxy surprise GOTY

Naum on 11 March 2009

How come a 2007 game won the award for 2008?

Or is this some award show that is every 2 years?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

@naum, in a previous yr alot of games won even though they weren't released yet. So they decided to hold in at this time for the previous yr. Obviously they suspended 2007 awards.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Yea, I'm stuck on how they have a category for a casual, when gaming culturalists use the damn word as a convenient way to categorize something they will not understand.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Love that slip-in of casual.

 

 

The award that Boom Blox won was "Best Casual" so...

They had a catagory for that?  Oh brother.

Even BBC journalism has gone down the crapper. casual, the term, is a disease

Let me rant in here alittle .... (you dont like me when im ranty)


"Call of Duty - a first-person shooter - took the awards for Gameplay; Story and Character and was picked as the People's Choice."

Wtf? Story was normal , typical first person shooter that borrows alot from action movies , Character ... well if im a character that is like "-_-" and just shoots the hell out of everything without saying anything to make him a "Character" i win awards?! are you fucking kidding me?

Mario Galaxy GOTY ? , wtf it should be GOTLY game of the last year

End rant mode.

anyways . good to see some games deserving it , other than CoD which is overrated.
