~ of the Year

By James Reynolds

Its nearing the end of 2007 and it’s about now that all sensible people with an ear to the industry start to consider who gets what accreditation, such as Game of the Year. Magazines do have a tendancy to do this on release for every 8+ Game (You know who you are) just for a chance to get themselves stamped all over the packaging … But they’re all douches and we know it.

Allow me to take a few liberties and say what my personal “~ Of the Year”s are:

  • Person – Me. James. Hah.
  • Dust gatherer – The Nintendo Wii
  • Paperweight – The Playstation 3
  • Letdown – PS3 Firmware 2.0
  • Nonevent – Assassin’s Creed
  • Timewaster – Madeline McCann
  • Shock – America didn’t start any new wars for us
  • Facistic Power Usurper – Gordon Brown
  • Dickhole Forum Admin – Bin’jamin
  • Comic Book Adaptation – 300
  • Movie – American Gangster
  • Most Hated Religion – Islam
  • Rape Case - Warren Jeffs
  • YouTuber - PaulsEgo
  • Machinima - Ignus Solus[1]
  • Innovative Game – Portal
  • Tired Genre – JRPG
  • Doorstop – PSP
  • Format – DVD
  • Disease – Bird Flu (Pretend Flu more like)
  • RPG – Mass Effect
  • Shooter - Call of Duty 4 / HL2: Ep / Team Fortress
  • Multiplayer Game - Call of Duty 4 / Team Fortress/ Halo 3
  • Developer – Valve / BioWare / Irrational
  • Game – I can’t honestly say. Maybe Mass Effect? Maybe (surprisingly) Call of Duty? Not Halo 3 thats for sure.

One brief note, no videos yet … Be patient. Mass Effect review up on Xbox Elite.

Regards,
James.
