Gamespot's Readers' Choice
A few days ago dude 69 pointed out that Gamespot's Readers' Choice Awards for 2004 had been posted. We were on-and-off following their Best and Worst of 2004 stuff - it started on December 18, and Readers' Choice was day 7; I'd have assumed that the Reader's Choice stuff was posted on Christmas Eve Day (or maybe the 26th, if they took Christmas off). I passed on the news tip. Then, today, I got ANOTHER one, this time from 3Suns; I went looking. Google cached THEIR version of that page on January 8, so it's been up for at least 2 weeks... I can't tell you how much longer than that. I CAN tell you we didn't report the results before - in fact, we didn't report ANYTHING past day 3. (Halo won nothing in the Genre awards, the Platform awards, or the GotY awards, so most of that is understandable.) The readers at Gamespot liked Halo 2 better than the editors, though - the game took home Best Xbox Action Adventure Game, Xbox Game of the Year, and Overall Game of the Year. Power to the people!

More Gamespot Best Of
Day 3 of Gamespot's Best and Worst of 2004 was posted - the Dubious Honors. Halo 2 was eligible for only one of these - Biggest Disappointment. It was beaten, according to Gamespot, by Fable. Next up: Genre Awards. (Halo 2 is up for Best Shooter.) (Louis Wu 11:59:35 UTC)

Halo 2: Mediocre Start in Gamespot's Best Of
Gamespot has kicked off its Best and Worst of 2004 - there's a recap of the year (surprisingly, Halo 2's $125 million first day didn't make the list of notable events), and a bunch of Special Achievement awards. Halo 2 was up for Best Original Music, but lost; Best Sound Effects, but lost; Best Original Game Mechanic, but lost; they weren't even in the running for Best Story, or Best Graphics. They DID take home Best Multiplayer Game, so that's something. There's still more to come on this one - but the intro isn't very promising. Thanks, MiD33. (Louis Wu 15:38:40 UTC)
