Actually I'm okay with GTA:SA being Game of the Year. In terms of sheer length and variety of gameplay, you must admit that San Andreas wins hands down.

Now Best Gaming Website - Shacknews was robbed.

Still, the award ceremony was much, much better than last year. Guess who won GOTY last year? Madden 2004!!

thats retarded, doom3 has much nicer graphics than hl2

I disagree with that, the environments in HL2 were top notch and they are ever changing unlike doom where it was basically the same thing over and over (silver room > silver room etc...) Don?t get me wrong Doom III was good but HL2 just crushed it in every way possible

Although Doom3 may have had the whole perfect lighting and bump mapping and all that stuff, HL2 seemed more immersive. And like someone mentioned above, although Doom3's one room was pretty, that's pretty much all it was. One room over and over and over and over.....

Best New Technology: Nintendo DS? cmon. I personally think the DS is retarded... ok dual screens. wooptie doo... *throws finger up in a circle* i dont see the point in have a map on another wasted screen when u can just press a button to bring it up and pause the game... its distracting in my opinion. i voted for the source engine. i know how long an engine takes to create. especially one as detailed as source... *boo* :rolleyes:

Anyone who takes that awards show seriously needs to take a long look in the mirror. Its a blatant attempt to capitalize on the growing game industry. I mean they allowed MADDEN NFL 2K4 to win GOTY last year. Granted its a great franchise, it is NO WHERE NEAR GOTY caliber. This show is put on by a bunch of clueless suits who just want the advert money. Please do all of us real gamers a favor and never ever watch its so its ratings bomb and they cancel the whole event. Its a disgrace and embaressment that these are even viewed as a legit source of comparision between games.

Spike awards blow chunks it's decided by people who play mostly console games

THERE IS nothing wrong with console games but...

They should get their heads out of their little narrow minded clicks and consider things like game sales and which games get more chat room and thread times If you think about it the games that sell best are doing so for a reason and why? Well check all the chat forums and find out dont rely on fat bubba down the hall or your cousin Vick who has not moved from his coutch in so long that he has Cheetos stuck to his cheak not that there is anything wrong with Cheetos

But come on! JEESH! :angry:

These shows go by popularity. It's nothing to get worked up over.

by popularity? :angry:

Oh you mean popularity of a narrow minded money grubbing few!

I got ya. thanks for clearing that up for me. :crazy:

They want to have their general audience agree, and they did that. That's what I meant by popularity.

Taking Spike TV's word on video games is like believing I'm the second coming of Jesus.

edit:

GTA:SA is the most popular game on the list. Half Life 2 isn't.

LOL at the comment about considering games' "chat room time" :rofl:

I agree GTA/SA sucks and HL2 should of gotten more awards but the general audience are not real gamers who make up about 80 % of the game sales. The gamers matter more not the TV audience

I know that. GTA doesn't impress me. Half Life 2 does. Which is why I know that Spike TV's awards are utter bullsh*t.

edit:

Fable got best RPG? Wow.

Against Tales of Symphonia, Star Ocean 3, Megami Tensei, Knights of the Old Republic 2, and Baten Kaitos, Fable won? Wait just a second. Are those guys on crack?

well where else should the world gaming comunitee discuss good or bad games in

" Panchos shoe shop?" If a game sucks and we all know some do it will be blasted hot and heavy in a gamers hangout like this one.

You might notice most online forums talk about computer games, since, well, they're only accesible from computers. There's no fair way to judge a game's popularity if you look at it that way. Take a look at a poll like this, from an obviously PC-biased web site and compare them to a site like this, which has a little more balance to its fan base.

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
