    Whilst I generally hugely dislike GameSpot and their almost hypocritical scoring of games, their end of year reviews are usually pretty good. I mean, in 1998 they gave Grim Fandango the game of the year rather than Half-Life. How cool is that?!

    So yes, read up ffs?

    ... what's bullshit? Grim Fandango getting GOTY? Have you even played it? As far as gaming experiences go, it shits all over Half-Life.

    Grim Fandango is one of the best games ever made, but IMO HL1 wud deserve a GOTY more

    Most of the games are shitty console games that no one will care about in a year's time..

    And where is Doom 3 in the shooter of the year section? Lame..

    Haha, Doom 3? Shooter of the year? Give me a break. It looked pretty, and that's it. It even got an award for its engine. Other than that, it's highly dire.

    ugh, headache+shitty gamespot layout that displays shitty (and scrolls like shit) == not good.

    ill just assume its their version of game awards

    my view on game awards: they can't be done correctly.
