Halo 3, Xbox 360 Top G-Phoria 2008 Awards
Posted by XanTium | August 8 23:24 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From gamasutra.com:
[QUOTE]
Bungie's Halo 3 took top Game of the Year honors during the G-Phoria awards last night, broadcast by game-oriented cable television network G4.

Xbox 360 was named the station's favorite system -- which falls in line with the award distribution. Of the show's 18 game awards, only four went to titles not available on Microsoft's system: Best Graphics and Best Voice Acting for Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Best Racing Game for Nintendo EAD's Mario Kart Wii, and, by default, Best Handheld Game for Ready at Dawn's God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Grand Theft Auto 4 and Harmonix's Rock Band tied for the greatest number of awards, each earning three. Amongst GTA4's distinctions was the prestigious gum-sponsored Longest Lasting Game Presented By Stride award.

G-Phoria is awful. I don't have G4 anymore, so I didn't see it, but it was always terrible in the past. And judging by the fact that they gave Halo 3 the game of the year award(not that it's a bad game, there were just better ones), and they have an award called "Longest Lasting Game Presented By Stride" award, it sounds just as terrible as ever.

To each their own, I hated GTA4. I had the same feeling with that game as you did with Halo 3. Been there done that.

GTA4 is pretty good. (but does tend to get a little to much praise cause games like Mafia 2 im quite sure are going to be a clearly better overall experience)

Halo3 is overrated (and Halo series in general)

but in my opinion... one things for sure none of those games has anything on Mafia 2 (on PC) once it comes out probably early half of 2009.... that's the main game i want BY FAR right now.

p.s. i agree with the comments about about Call Of Duty 4 being better than Halo3.

I love Halo 3 as much as anybody, but even I would put Mass Effect and then BioShock ahead of it as GotY.

I didn't see the gphoria event, but halo 3 as best game of 2008? Did I read that wrong? How long ago was that released? Did someone watch an old episode of G4, or did this really get best game of 2008? If Halo 3 got best game of 2008 then someone needs to get the folks at G4 into some kind of intervention. They're obviously way too stoned. That show actually used to be good several years ago when it was tech tv. I cannot stand to even watch it anymore unless morgan webb is on with a nice tight t-shirt, and those nice tits.

Geesuz....

Did you guys watch G-Phoria, did any of you actually read the article???? blink.gif
Fans voted!
If you don't like the results, vote next time rolleyes.gif

I know Halo haters would whine about this.
I'm actually surprised Halo 3 won, I didn't expect it. But this doesn't mean I disagree.
In my opinion, I haven't played a better game than Halo 3 since it came out.....
(Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, and Call of Duty 4 come close)

Call of Duty would've been better if the multiplayer lived up to the singleplayer.

It's nothing but a grenade spamfest the likes of which the world has never seen before. It's like 3xfrag, frag damage boost, and martyr is all anyone ever uses. Sure doesn't help that the maps are so goddamn tiny you can chuck a frag from your spawn right to the other team's spawn. I can't see how anyone can enjoy that garbage.
