Gamemaster you mean Retro deserves some recognition after all the bad hype and negative comments about their talents.

Whoa!!! :eek:

Those are very high scores. I didn't expect MP to be this good. I never wanted to buy it, but now I definitely want it.

Good thing I have an NTSC Cube, I won't have to wait 4 months .

So three Xbox games get gold, but one of them is Steel Battalion which isn't going to make an impact on Xbox sales anyway.

One of the two Nintendo games that got platinum is a GBA game (Metroid Fusion). That in turn is not going to impact GameCube sales very much.

So in the end, review wise, Xbox and GameCube games are very very close.

By the way, I don't think it was ever said that Retro didn't have talent. However, they were a badly run company. Jeff Spangengberg (the founder) was a con man who wasted a lot of company time taking employees to strip clubs. He and a bunch of other people had to be booted out before Retro could really start work.

Wasn't GTA3 game of the year?? If so, I don't think they'll make VC the one of this year. Which is good news for us Nintendo fans.

Hmm... it would be sad if a good game like GTA would fish behind the net twice... And last year a shooter won...

Suddenly the odds are against Metroid Prime (grammar?).

Halo was the editors GOTY in EGM last year. GTA3 got the readers GOTY.

I'd be shocked if it didn't got to MP or splinter cell this year.

Where have you been? It's been predicted to be GOTY since E3. Hell, got Game of the Show by many places.
