What's Your Favorite Video Game?

[Illuminatus]

If Half-Life 2 doesn't win, then Spike TV is crap.

Oh wait, Spike TV IS crap.

[Gorefiend]

So, it's sponsored by Xbox? Yup, Halo 2 WINS!

Though, in actuality, Half-Life 2 and GTA:SA would be the real winners. Don't ask me in which order. Probably GTA. However, remove Steam, and provide everyone with high-end systems, and HL2 would win easily.

And, have you ever even played those games, Psr? My guess (and it's just a guess) is no. Chances are, you own a Gamecube. Or a PS2. I own one too. But, I know good games when I see them. Just because GTA's earliest installment is beyond the age of the old school, doesn't mean it sucks. And, just because Halo /Halo 2 began with the Xbox just recently (2001, was it? Or 2002? I suck at remembering dates!) doesn't mean it sucks! I've played both games, and they rock. The sheer freedom in GTA makes up for the graphics, and the voice overs are ok. Although, in GTA3 the voice overs kinda sucked, you gotta play Vice City! It rocks.

As far as Halo/Halo 2, there are tons of people who will tell you: it is THE BEST console FPS ever, since Goldeneye. See how deep I gotta dig to find a DECENT game? Anyways...., Psr, I recommend you read this.

I was talking about symponia also

If you're going to state your opinion, state it without being an ass about it. Other people will undoubtibly like these games (especially since they're popular) and constantly calling a game crap whenever you mention it just makes you look like you're on a crusade to make peole think its crap AND that you want people to argue with you about it.

So don't. Cuz then the mods will do something about it.

And Jarlax. Word up! Suikoden 2! Word UP!

...ahem. Although I don't know if I can say its my favorite game, its next to the top. But anyway, its not a 2004 gae, which they're talking about here.

As a side note, I wonder why they haven't put up Metroid Prime 2 on the list. I mean, just as a way to attempt to look non-bias. Maybe they were afraid it might...win? Oh, for shame a Nintendo game should win a contest on a Male centered, 'Mature' station. Eventhough a bunch of guys who worked on Half-Life 1 worked on both Prime 1 and 2.

[Solid Snake]

Metal Gear Solid 3 should win this year's award show, but it won't, because Spike TV sucks ass when it comes to deciding good games.

I'd be pissed off if Halo 2 or Burnout won. Any of the other games on that list are deserving enough. But I'm shocked that Burnout 3 made it in over Metroid Prime 2. ::sigh:: Seriously, pick up a Gamecube sometime, Spike TV.

[Dac]

basically this whole thing is about which game was hyped the most and delivered at least part of it so no matter what games that have been overly commercialized would be present and more than likely win.

[The Mirror Emperor]

Spike TV's Video Game Awards are more Played-The-Most awards rather than Actually-A-Good-Game awards, a popularity contest if you will, which ultimately leaves any Nintendo original out of most categories. Which I'm disappointed by.

Zelda: Majora's Mask is the best I've played.

Seriously? I played the first Paper Mario and got really mad that it didn't meet the standard that Super Mario RPG had set (I consider it the best RPG on the SNES). I decided not to play the second because I figured it would be more of the same.

Halo 2 probably deserves the award with the best multiplayer I've seen in a while, but I haven't played any of the other games on the list because I only have a Gamecube. Being poor sucks.

I highly suggest going back and replaying SMRPG. Most of the time, and I know this by experience, those "standards" cease to exist the moment you remove the nostalgia cap. Call it a rude awakening, or something, but you tend to see games for what they are, rather than what you thought they were.


As for meh favorite game, I've been saying LoZ: Majora's Mask for the past few years.

SMRPG i always thought was lower quality then papermario, thouhg i didnt play it so i dont see it through rose coler classes
