I'm glad to see Katamari Damacy get a nod a few times... but these awards seem incredibly narrow, with only a few games even being mentioned at all. I know not as many games have come out in their territory, but it still is rather strange to ignore so many games and then mention Mawaru, which isn't even out there yet last I saw.

Monster Hunter is awful, by the way.

[color=#4B0082]I'm glad Zelda: Four Swords Adventures got recognized, at least. I think it's been really underrated, compared to some of the other big-name GCN titles. Personally, I like it more than The Wind Waker, which was hyped way more than FSA.

Other than that, though, I haven't actually played any of the games on the list, so I can't really comment.[/color]

I would have to say I am very dissapointed by this because of the fact that Halo 2 or Half-Life 2 are the three Best game nominees when I feel that it should either be Burnout 3 ( Funnest racing game ever)or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas although I have to agree on the nomination for the new Thief........ Excellent Sound Score on it.
