GC hasn't been nearly as interesting as I had hoped.
Rob @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:16PM
It's a bad time to host it. E3 was only a short while ago, and everything here is just a rehash of what was shown there. Except Spoe. And the new MGS4 trailer LOLZ!!!
Nushio @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:19PM
Lemme guess, Mario Galaxy wins for the Wii, DS gets nothing and best Hardware is Rock Band.
As for PC? Starcraft 2.
Rob @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:26PM
And skate for mobiles is bound to rock!
Also, Pro Evo is coming to the Wii too. Just not yet. And look at that stellar DS line up. Thank the gods for Phantom Hourglass, but come on, there gotta be more than that coming. Contra 4 perhaps?
Ah to hell with it, I'm rambling - I'm going to bed. Nice pic btw. Penguins with hats are always funny.

How can a game win an award before it's released? What are they going to base it off of, a partial MGS4 trailer?
Rob @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:26PM
Make that Spore with an R.
Stupidiot @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:31PM
How the hell could they miss Assassin's Creed?
Stupidiot @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:14PM
err... maybe I should read the whole thing without just jumping straight to the nominees, Assassin's Creed just probably shown at the show...

who selected these (with the exception of galaxy, good choice)
what about brawl, metroid ?
Jon @ Aug 22nd 2007 8:44PM
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe they are only nominating games that are on show.
I am guessing Nintendo decided that a European games show isn't worth it.
matt @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:07PM
Wait, Halo 3 wasn't at the show?
blamo_the_great @ Aug 22nd 2007 9:17PM
The 'We're not in Kansas anymore award' goes to LGC07 with 4 Pro Evo nominations leading the pack.
Guybrush Threepwood @ Aug 22nd 2007 11:44PM
Sam & Max: Season 1?
Are you sure that's not Sam & Max: Season 2?

As for Best Hardware Product, It will be a battle between the Wii Balance Board and Rock Band. I say this only because Rock Band has a guitar, okay been there done that and a microphone, been there done that. So it essentially comes down to drums vs. wii balance board in which I think the Wii balance board will win by a small margin.
Matt B @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:36AM
The PSEYE has more potential than plastic instruments and a balancing board. Gesture based gaming without a wiimote.
DarkMage @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:19PM
I thought the show was going to be more impressive...
Malderoc @ Aug 31st 2007 10:23AM
Im just gonna take a wild guess... and say that Rock Band looks like one of the most promising games of late, and its sure to take home the award for best hardware product...
...and i think that balance board looks sucky...
