[ThaBenMan]

Best Modern RPG - Honestly can't think of one that is good enough to nominate

Really? No Mass Effect? No KOTOR? Baldur's Gate? Unless you haven't played them, in which case for shame (well, it's cool for Mass Effect if you don't have an xbox, but you should really get the pc version when it hits)

And how can you consider FF VII a modern game?

 

[L4Y Duke]

Least Amount of RPG in a FPSRPG: Bioshock.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

I notice there are a lot of "dubious" awards, for instance, this one...

Least Amount of RPG in a FPSRPG: Bioshock.

So I guess this isn't limited to just "best of" - we can also have these "least" - even though they aren't really something you shouldn't award something for it.

 

[Irrok the Wide]

"Best Cleansing the Earth with the Blood of the Innocent" OverLord

"Best Dumbass in a Chicken Suit" Billy Hatcher

"Best Use of the Running Fart Joke" Ultimate Muscle featuring Dik Dik Van Dik

 

[neems]

The award for the 'most advanced game engine that doesn't support anti-aliasing for some godawful reason what do you mean it's deferred rendering and why should we care?' goes to Epic for everything that uses Unreal Engine 3. Special mention to STALKER.

Epic also win the (aforementioned?) award for 'most advanced game engine that only supports grey'.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Most whored Nintendo franchise: Uh, they all win. HOORAY!

Best Modern RPG - Honestly can't think of one that is good enough to nominate

Really? No Mass Effect? No KOTOR? Baldur's Gate? Unless you haven't played them, in which case for shame (well, it's cool for Mass Effect if you don't have an xbox, but you should really get the pc version when it hits)

There's also Earthbound, Sailor Moon, Hellgate : London, Jagged Alliance 1/2 if you're talking Contemporary rather than Modern.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Most over-estimated line : Tomb Raider

"Well, now I'm going to have to get out of these wet clothes."

 

[Strafe Mcgee]

Lost Odyssey is a rather good modern RPG if you're into the whole traditionalist JRPG thing.

 

[Copter400]

Best reaction from fanboys when critically reviewed: SSBB
Best coffee: GTA3
Silliest game mechanic: Fable (I mean, who needs a fart button? Seriously)
Worst PC to console transition: Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements. By Jove, that's an aw'flly long name.

 

[ShadeOfRed]

I nominate Mr. Resetii for best hated character.

 

[end_boss]

The Stormtrooper Award for Worst Armour - Ghosts n Goblins

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Best case of gravity defying chest : Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury)

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Best case of gravity defying chest : Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury)

Yeah, but under her costume it's taped to her shoulders with Industrial strength rack-tape.

Best case of gravity defying chest : Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury)

Actually, at least Mai's breasts have some semblance of gravity to them. The girls in DOA Xtreme 2 defy the laws of physics and bikinis.
