The 2010 Escapests's's: Non-Standard Awards

[agentmaine]

So, around this time of year and a little into the beginning of the next year, we get a bunch of people giving out the usual awards. Game of the year, RPG of the year, Shooter of the year, Best Soundtrack, Call of Duty of the Year, and so on and so on.


This thread is not for those awards.

I am going to post a bunch of my personal awards and people should feel free to list between 0 and as-many-as-they-want below.

Unofficial Official Rules
1)Can't be for something obvious like the above awards
2)They should have some sort of interesting/funny title
3)They can have nominees if you really so choose
4)Yeah, that's all I got

Mine


The Joss Whedon Award for Most Likely to Become a Cult Classic
Deadly Premonition

The Not-A-Cake Award for Most Likely to Become an Internet Meme
Monday Night Combat (something in that game will stick)

The Resident Evil Award for Least Coherency in a Plot
Three-Way Tie
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Alan Wake
Bayonetta

The Control-V Award for Least Progress in a Sequel
Fallout: New Vegas

The Left 4 Dead Award for Game-Whose-Purpose-is-to-be-a-Placeholder-While-the-Developer-Works-On-a-Real-Project

I take issue with Left 4 Dead being a placeholder. L4D2 is my most played game this generation.

The Just Cause "Biggest Land Mass you won't want to visit" Award
Fuel- Codemasters

The Dead or Alive "Chuck some knockers in there and it'll sell" award.
The Saboteur- Pandemic

The Bionic Commando "I ordered some quality nostalgia with this latte! Where the fuck is my nostalgia?" award.
Alien Vs Predator

Lol, Nice

And L4D isn't bad, it just isn't Half Life. I bought and played the hell out of both L4Ds but there is no denying that they aren't on the same level as some of VALVes other works

If not, then:

The "Nice Guys Finish Dead" award for rewarding good behaviour with a bad ending
Fable III

"The long winded award for one of the two games I purchased this year,this one not being a
re release of a 2008 that kicked ass that was still pretty kick ass all on it's own,and I couldn't think of a decent category for it except for the one following this award thus making the last four lines you just read a complete waste of time." award or the "Might as well be a sequel" award- Strange Journey
