I'm surprised to see Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 winning an award, there.

No, not because it's a bad game or anything - I love it.
On the GameCube, it may have a bad frame-rate, the steering may be a little 'off', and it may be slightly different to the PS2 original, but once you give it time and really get into it, it becomes a brilliant game with all those Hot Pursuit challenges, even if the standard Racing ones are kinda boring.

Plus, I love the soundtrack!
Anyone know where I could buy it??


And my import copy on Animal Crossing arrived this morning, courtesy of Tiltawhirl. I'll be giving that a good-go all afternoon! :D

What does DICE actually stand for.

true its quite poop really

That's because we don't make great games, normally. Most RAREWARE games are good, but they only released Starfox Adventures this year, which, was rubbish, really. The only other British game I can think of is The Getaway, which was no better.

notice there all Japan or American game designers or whatever

Need for Speed 2? Burnout 2 and Grand Prix 4 were better - even TOCA, bar the loading times.

Well, those awards seem fair.

No. It was excellent.

Stole the words right out of my mouth mate :)

Wah? Is this saying that LOTR TT has the best graphics or what? I'll give it one thing, fitting all them moving people on a screen all at once must have been really hard, but the graphics aren't all that. Resident Evil deserved it, although the game was terrible.
