          Re: The Pavilion Video Game Awards

          Best Shooter
          Hmm, I'm not too sure how many shooters I've played this year, but Gears of War 2 gets a half an award because while horde is accessible and fun, the versus multiplayer matchmaking kills any sort of competitive fighting, and let's face it sometimes you do want to duke it out against your buddies for a change.

          Duke Nukem 3d XBLA gets an honorable mention from me as well.

          Best Platformer
          Didn't play any this year

          Best 2D Platformer
          Nope

          Best RPG
          The only one I've played this year would be Lost Odyssey so I guess that wins by default, don't tell Loki but I thought the game was good.

          Best Stratagy Game
          Hell, X-com: UFO Defense's steam release should count for this.

          Best Simulation
          Rock Band 2 is much more polished than its predicessor, I think I said something along the lines of "Oh this should be a patch" a while back but its certainly more valuable than that.

          Best Fighting Game
          Soul Calibur IV, I will always cherish the one game I could beat down nearly every pavilionite with a crazy clown girl welding a razor blade lined hula hoop.

          Best DS Game
          didn't get any

          Best PSP Game
          didn't get any

          Best Wii Game
          I suppose Super Smash Brothers Brawl by default, what else could it be? Unless House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return came out this year, did it?

          Best 360 Game
          Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

          Best PS3 Game
          Of all the ones I played, I'd still have to say MGS4/MGO, if only to make myself feel better for paying 400 bucks for a system and game.

          Best PC Game
          I didn't buy any new ones that were from this year.

          Best PS2 Game
          Didn't buy one.

          Game of the Year
          Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

          Biggest Dissapointment:
          Dead Space

          Most inoffensive sequel award:
          Silent Hill: Homecoming

          EDIT: I know there's no place for it on my list but I wanted to say I really enjoyed GTA4 and it's one of my favorites of the year as well. I remember in particular one night where me Tintenfisch Bigfoot and Magus just hung out in the game and we had a ****ing blast. Gotta do it again~~~

            AW HELL YEAH~

            It's gonna take me the whole day to think of a list.

            We're also inevitably gonna do a Grump Factory post about the Best/Worst of 2008 so I don't wanna divulge too much either~~

                  Added Best Fighter

                  I wanted to add Best MMO, but really, what has their been? Age of Conan? Warhammer?

                      I think this goes easily to Gears of War 2, I don't know what other game in the genre really comes close.

                      Best Platformer
                      N/A

                      Best 2D Platformer
                      Does Braid count? I think it's the only one I've played this year, unless I can let Cave Story or Super Mario World win every year.

                      Best RPG
                      Fallout 3, definitely. Actually, probably my game of the year. I didn't play any other RPG's this year though, but I'm confident it'd still be F3.

                      Best Strategy Game
                      Starcraft, of course. olol

                      Best Simulation
                      I love the Civilization series, and despite not playing the one for consoles, I'll make an uninformed choice and say that.

                      Best DS Game
                      I sold my DS and don't regret it.

                      Best PSP Game
                      N/A

                      Best Wii Game
                      Super Smash Bros: Brawl, since it's the only one I've played.

                      Best 360 Game
                      Fallout 3

                      Best PS3 Game
                      N/A

                      Best PC Game
                      I don't think I played a newly released PC games this year, but, y'know, Starcraft.

                      Best PS2 Game
                      N/A

                      Game of the Year
                      Fallout 3

                      Biggest Disappointment

                      Dead Space, for being the best designed mediocre game I've ever played.

                        Re: The Pavilion Video Game Awards

                        Best Shooter
                        Gears of War 2, of course.

                        Best Platformer
                        Beats me.

                        Best 2D Platformer
                        I'd like to say Mega Man 9, but my vote's going for Braid, too.

                        Best RPG
                        Was Persona 3 this year, or last? Otherwise, War of the Lions.

                        Best Strategy Game
                        I dunno.

                        Best Simulation
                        Sim is different from strategy??

                        Best DS Game
                        The World Ends With You. That's right, I ate that humble pie and it was great.

                        Best PSP Game
                        Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Nice going, Square, you got two games on this list. I'm not ready to bury the hatchet, though.

                        Best Wii Game
                        Brawl, duh.

                        Best 360 Game
                        Gears. Or Precipice of Darkness. Or Braid? Nah, Gears.

                        Best PS3 Game
                        MGS4, the only one I've played.

                        Best PC Game
                        Charles Barkley's Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden

                        Best PS2 Game
                        Uh... Persona 3?

                        Game of the Year
                        I dunno, man. War of the Lions and The World Ends With You are the one I've played the longest, Brawl and Gears are the one I had the most fun with, and Braid is the one that I've thought about the most.
                        I don't know.

                        Biggest Disappointment
                        Ninja Gaiden II showed me just how lazy a team of masters can get.

                        Biggest Surprise
                        Braid used very little, and made me feel a lot. On the other hand, The World Ends With You was fun and fresh, despite being made mostly by a bunch of dopes.

                          I totally forgot about TWEWY, man, that game was a huuuuge surprise. I was expecting it to be total garbage and if it weren't for you and BZ I would've ignored it. THIS is why I go to this place--I take a lot of stock in some of your opinions.

                          Not having played Ninja Gaiden II, and having just completed Sigma walking away feeling like I had just wasted 20 hours of my life, I have to say that there is something inherently wrong with the formula and I'm guessing all of it's flaws were transferred from the original to the sequel--if not more so--rather than being addressed and corrected.

                              See? This is what being poor in college does to people. All of the games I'm playing came out last year.

                              My answers still stand.
