Great game, but come-freaking-on. Americans are Coo-Coo for their XBox and anything with the word Halo or Gears in it.<BR/>As for "Best Action Adventure Game," that's another tough call. I didn't include several good categories due to space. Mirror's Edge might be a dark horse due to originalidy, and Dead Space was an absolute blast, but I call a toss-up between Metal Gear and GTA. My vote goes to MGS, though I would not be too angry if GTA won out...Even though MGS is a better game.-Ryan Winsletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08855008568934442660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602928298738678271.post-90655947978925676162008-11-18T10:18:00.000-08:002008-11-18T10:18:00.000-08:00Also, out of curiosity, what would you give the aw...Also, out of curiosity, what would you give the award to in the 'Best Action Adventure Game' category?<BR/><BR/>Metal Gear Solid IV<BR/>Mirror's Edge<BR/>Grand Theft Auto IV<BR/>Dead SpaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602928298738678271.post-9472355115967035892008-11-18T10:11:00.000-08:002008-11-18T10:11:00.000-08:00My predictions (not what I want to win, but what I...My predictions (not what I want to win, but what I think WILL win):<BR/><BR/>Game of the Year: Gears<BR/><BR/>Best Multiplayer: Gears<BR/><BR/>Best PS3 Game: Gears (just kidding! It will be LBP)<BR/><BR/>Best Wii Game: Smash Bros.<BR/><BR/>Best 360 Game: Gears<BR/><BR/>Best Graphics: Gears<BR/><BR/>Best Handheld: God of War<BR/><BR/><BR/>Given Spike's audience, I think it's safe to say Gears will win every award it is up for. And Dude Huge will be there to accept the awards, chainsaw machine gun in hand. LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
