EA, Nintendo clean up at Joysticks

EA and Nintendo grabbed three gongs apiece at Future Publishing’s Golden Joystick Awards 2004 earlier this afternoon.
In the non-game award, Amazon.co.uk pipped GAME and Play.com to win Retailer of the Year.

Ion Storm’s Warren Spector was also voted into the Golden Joysticks Hall of Fame in a ceremony hosted by Little Britain’s Matt Lucas at the Park Lane Hotel in London.

The Awards attracted record levels of voting from some 200,000 consumers, with no single publisher dominating proceedings.

Nintendo’s three awards included Game Cube Game of the Year (Mario Kart: Double Dash), Hardware of the Year (GBA SP NES Classic Edition) and Most Wanted Game for 2005 (The Legend of Zelda).

Doom 3. Wie viele Spasten fallen noch auf dieses Abfallprodukt rein?

Ultimate Game Of The Year: Doom 3 (Activision)

Nicht ernsthaft, oder? Beste Grafik würde ich mir ja noch gefallen lassen, aber das ist einfach nur lächerlich.

Ich wollte nicht für jeden Award einen neuen Thread aufmachen, deswegen habe ich den Titel geändert.


SpikeTV Game Award Nominees
Which will reign supreme? You get a vote.

November 16, 2004 - SpikeTV today announced its official nominees for the network's second annual Video Game Awards, set to air December 14 at 9 PM Pacific/Eastern on SpikeTV.

The SpikeTV nominees for Game of the Year are Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Burnout 3, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Nominees in all 24 categories were determined by the Video Game Awards Advisory Board, comprising a group of game industry experts. While most winners will be determined by the Advisory Board and consumer voting, three of the categories -- "Most Addictive Game," "Best Gaming Website" and "Best Gaming Publication" -- will be decided by viewer vote alone.

That's right: and IGN is nominated for you-know-what. Not that we're telling you how to vote. But SpikeTV.com is already accepting your choices.

Stimmt, Zelda "Game Of The Year" - The Minish Cap ist nicht dabei.

Wahrscheinlich nehmen sie nur Titel auf, die schon erschienen sind und Zelda sowie Metroid Prime 2 sind ja noch nicht in den USA draußen (naja MP2 schon, aber erst seit gestern).
