Golden Joysticks about to kick off – live blog details

Weren’t last year’s a bit of a clusterfuck for some reason? I can’t quite remember.

Yeah, I seem to remember some kind of clusterfuckage, but my mind’s a blank as to what it was.

Looking back in the archive, I see Activision won pretty much everything. That was probably it, then.

i’ve got a tenner on 3D Monster Maze taking ZX81 game of the year.

Yeah, wasn’t it like CoD4 winning everything, despite the fact it came out in 2007.

If i remember correctly there was alot of disagreement over who won what. And how they may have come to win…

Didn’t kane and lynch win an award before it was even released

I remember that the lack of LBP -one of last years highest rated games- bothered more then a few people.

“LBP, imma gonna let you finish,but Actiblizz paid the most of all time. OF ALL TIME”

Why does that never get old? Oh wait…..

Best Nintendo game – Call of Duty: World at War.

OK, finally a reasonable choice:

Left 4 Dead wins online game of the year

How the fuck did Game win retailer of the year?

What was the deciding factor? How far over the odds their prices are?

Fallout 3 eh?
