Was undecided on best newcomer, between Call of Duty and Viewtiful Joe. Also couldn't make my mind up in the racing game category, out of PGR2 and F-Zero GX.
Nominations were on the whole, fairly crap, but fingers crossed the awards are just and games like Enter the Matrix and NFSU are well and truly ignored.
Bit confused - is this a scam or something? Can't really believe I have a VIP ticket winging its way to me, somehow. Happen to anyone else?
I wonder how they'll pick Britain's best gamer this year, one round of Monkey Fight perhaps?
No Rainbow Six 3 and no Mario Kart in the racing category. Oh and they had the stupidity to put Medal of Honor : Rising Sun in the Adventure catergory.
I'm guesing this years programme will be another bunch of Z grade celebrity pr-cks, trying to show everyone that they 'don't really play computer games' because they're too cool for that.
