Who the f*** voted for the new simpsons game ](*,)

The only award that should have won was the "what ps2 game in 2007 looks like a 1995 ps1 release"

Even the improved graphics on the 360 can't change the fact it's the dullest platformer of the year, OK for kids i suppose but the simpsons has a huge older generation following and the creators should have taken this into account and not just released tosh knowing the name alone would sell it.

Halo 3 is pure class.

it may not bring much new to the table (but since halo is the blueprint for most FPS these day, i think we can let it off) but the online multiplayer options are awesome and it all works perfectly.

its great being able to see your stats on bungie.net like you can.

the saying "if it aint broken, dont fix it" applies to halo!

having said all that tho, there has been other games jus as good but thats why this year has been so good. lots of top quality titles.

and lucky for me there all on 360.

True, I would have gave it to TMNT or Jackass.

Bioshock is a worthy winner cos i was simply amazed by that when i first played that on my mates 360 and i hope it gets ported to the PS3. The Orange Box is another future purchase as i've heard nothing but good feedback on that one and the original Half life on the PS2 was fantastic.

id read up on it if its a PS3 you have.

apparently they have done a horrible job of porting it cos it was left to some EA studio instead of valve.

Horrible job porting & EA mentioned in the same sentence :shock: never :lol:

Thanks for the heads up, Just had a quick look on IGN and it mentions better lighting effects but some framerate issues on Episode 2. Hopefully it won't be enough to stop me purchasing it.

It's a shame all EA games aren't as polished as the stuff released on the EA sports BIG label, Shox and the SSX series are by far my favourite games they put out on the PS2 and despite not being heavily into FPS i've always had a soft spot for the Medal of Honor series.
