TuEFA : The (unofficial) Escapist Forum Awards

[the monopoly guy]

Game that could be the biggest disappointment of the year.
Brutal Legend.
Everyones expecting wonders from this game, and that leaves it a lot farther to fall.

what about too human, that looks like one of those games where you go to a platform, shoot at a wave of bad guys, then move on to the next platform. Rinse adn repeat

Is there a, "Best Murders" category?
If there is Turok Evolution needs it. Poison arrows caused your opponents to vomit themselves to death, that and the gravity gun in it slowly tore your victim apart.

yes, it seems that that was the only strong point of the game. I do enjoy loading 4 rounds of buckshot into a baddy's head at once but they got rid of all the dinos so it gets the award for: Worst Game that Ruined a Series and a Company Award

Silliest game mechanic: Fable (I mean, who needs a fart button? Seriously)

Me.

Seriously, I can only imagine how funny it would have been to have it in certain other games.
MGS2, while Otacon or other are chatting you can press a button to mumble "hmm" or "yeah", farting would have been more fun.
The ability to make a fart/I-Shit-Myself sound in F.E.A.R.
Master Chief farting, then complaining about the smell and trying to force off his helmet...

Well, in Fable, if you fart alot in front of other people, this goes towards you being evil for some reason.

Portal, a category all it's own, it wins the Portal Award no other game can win it except maybe Portal 2 when it comes out, it should also get most unique idea, but Narbacular Drop should share in that but really it is Portal's predecessor so it is all good. Also, Duke Nukem Forever, for longest production but I actually think it has already been awarded that. There should be the Razzie Awards for Games, I am pretty sure Superman 64 already won worst N64 game. That Custer game for the best pixilated porno.

 

[L4Y Duke]

I nominate Will Wright for "Biggest Expansion Pack Whore"

Grand Theft Auto 2 also had a fart button. When pressing the car horn button outside of a car, your guy would either burp or fart. This could be done in rapid succession, with the repeated sound effects overlapping the previous ones.

I nominate portal for "Best game to inspire a ripoff version that was actually good enough to be adapted into real maps that were also good enough to beocome official downloadable content"
