This is the talkback thread for the NWR 2007 Awards. Yeah, they're late, but that's because we had to give every other video game award the chance to shine before we outclassed them all.

So tell where you agree, disagree, and generally your thoughts.

Your guyz's Award Graphics are poorly compressed.

Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 not even getting a mention for its online play is a crime. The single player portion may have sucked, but it had controls that were at least as good as Corruption's and also were extremely customizable and managed to pull off 32 player matches with no lag (hear that, Sakurai?) and no friend codes.

While one might think that the continuing evolution of the console first-person shooter genre has made Goldeneye 007 irrelevant, nothing could be further from the truth.

Goldeneye was irrelevant when it was released. Really, am I the only person to have ever played Quake?! Not until the Wii have first person shooters even been a truly viable genre outside of the PC due to the extreme superiority of a mouse (or trackball) and keyboard over clunky gamepads.

Incorrect, Goldeneye was absolutely relevant. As a matter of fact, it was more than relevant, it was pivotal. Many gamers didn't really play PC Games at the time, and Goldeneye single-handedly brought FPSs to the masses. Look at console gaming today, there are so many FPSs you can't even keep track of them. This can be directly attributed to the success of Goldeneye.

Personally, I had played Quake at the time, and I still liked Goldeneye better regardless of the inferior control scheme, so that argument doesn't really hold water. I'm certain I'm not the only one who felt that way either.

The "best multiplayer" award makes me SICK! Guitar Hero 3 isn't a real game, it's for gangbang masturbation sessions. Wario Ware Smooth Moves barely even HAS a multiplayer mode! SUPER MARIO STRIKERS and MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES win that category HANDS DOWN.

Metroid Prime 3 doesn't deserve a mention for it's controls, Medal of Honor takes MUCH better advantage of the Wii Remote. Mario & Sonic is more deserving. Stupid nintards.

Gotta agree with Sin & Punishment though. And Pokemon. Hotel Dusk not even NOMINATED though? Not even for BEST SOUND? UUUUUUGH

Hmmm some weird choices IMO (Sin and Punishment as Runner up for game of the year, or PH not even as runner up for DS game of the year or even Zack and Wiki for best use of the Wiimote).

Just like the Wii, the rest of the boards and the site, these awards are made of phail.

Crimm · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2008, 09:32:06 PM »

Just to clarify: many of the games being named here WERE nominated but lost in voting.

Crimm · « **Reply #12 on:** March 13, 2008, 10:10:39 PM »

I would also like to point out that I had no role in voting or nominations. I came in after that was already over. Nobody on staff agrees with everything in the list, myself included.

Personally, I don't think Sin and Punishment should even be eligible for Game of the Year, but it is and it got runner up.

Everything you said invalidated by your praise for Mario & Sonic.

Instead of voting, a fight to the death in a star trekian kirk vs spock style would've been better.

Yeah, I think NWR would have been better off not bothering with this at all. Most of these picks are dreadful.

SCREW THE HATERS, I LIKED IT.

Mario Galaxy dominated, which was the most important thing.

How can the biggest disappointment be Brawl being pushed to 2008 when Europe (can't speak for australia; TBA don't say much) knew that from mid-2007?

RABicle · « **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2008, 05:19:15 AM »

Ok ok ok.

**** PHOENIX WRIGHT. Runner up for best sound? Get the **** out. The music is atrocious and repeated endlessly. Phoenix wright is best played mute, with the radio on.

Ummm, I refuse to play those games without sound. It plays a big part in the game.
