Shack GOTY 2002 Winners

Well the polls are closed and it's time to announce the winners for the Game of the Year 2002. Along with the reader's choice awards we've included our own personal picks for the particular platforms. Obviously Jason is just a pampered little bitch because he has all 3 consoles! Here you go, the winners are...

- PC Gaming - Sony Playstation 2 - Nintendo Gamecube & GBA - Microsoft Xbox
There werent really too many surprises in there, but there were certainly a number of tough choices. Most of the choices were within 25-50% of each other, with the exception of Warcraft 3 which won by a huge landslide. I'll probably slip in there and put the percentages on those pages later on, but I just wanted to get those darn results posted already!

  • I'm pretty surprised at some of the results, moreso over the catergorization than anything.

    BF1942, while a great game, shouldn't really be put in the same class as Medal Of Honor. I believe multiplayer action / single player action should have been in separate categories. But then you'd have to get specific, and place UT2003 with BF1942.. and again.. thats a team based game vs. a deathmatch game. I guess it's easier to put them all into one group.

    The results that surprised me the most were the sports games. While skateboarding may be considered a sport by all, it isn't a traditional sports game in a sense.. more of a goal-oriented game than anything. The NBA/NFL/NHL games should have been separated as well. THPS games should be grouped with the BMX ones and the snowboarding genre.

    I guess that's pretty much it, everything else deserved what it got. I found the editors choice's pretty much on par, save for Jason's selection of MechAssault. I believe that one who run's a game page should share somewhat similar views with its readers, but Splinter Cell isn't for everyone.

    Just my $.02
