Guys, Halo reach won the innovation award, and call of duty won the multiplayer award. I think it's safe to say that these awards are a joke.

Halo Reach isn't innovative, its the same thing as the past halos with some changes. Call of Duty is ridiculous, the worst part is that people who play that actually think it's realistic. These kinds of games are the reasons why things like SvM don't attract large crowds. Nobody wants a challenge anymore...

No i disagree, I think its because people are so used to being spoon fed crap that they don't know what a real good game is anymore.

That works too, I knew plenty of people that played COD and played SCCT on xbox. They only played deathmatch and they were also terrible.

I'm really shocked that black ops won the multiplayer award simply because call of duty doesn't have and never will have this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0aw-42JO3qk&gl=CA

I knew Koreans took starcraft seriously, but that may have been the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Instead of firing mortar shells at each other, North and South Korea should just battle it out on starcraft.

Black ops, best multiplayer? Who disagrees?
I do. Every single game in the Battlefield series is better.

So true, and only because of vehicles, damn you people like cars. )

Since we were discussing it earlier, I bought Minecraft a few days ago. Gotta say, already one of my all time favorites.

What do you like about it and why do you like it?

What is there that might everyone like it?

Cronky

It sounds like a low res (On purpose) version of Oblivion with Little Big Planet mashed in there. Minus actual quests (until the story gets added during/after beta).

You explore, fight, and create stuff for hours upon end. In this case though your creativity can really flourish. Whether it be a Castle or, again, a giant floating dick in the sky. The possibilities are endless and the execution is simple.

Both things that are liked by people (hardcore and casual).


Perhaps a little nostalgia for the graphics gets some people also.
If you haven't noticed, I'm REALLY good at making a simple response into a wall of text.

Minecraft to me is essentially like an adventure game, except you make your own quests.

It's diifficult to give a good explanation of why it's fun, but I think this trailer pretty much sums up how I feel about it.

There are 4 difficulties. Once you get bored of that, there is Survival Multiplayer, and once you get bored of that, there are mods. Graphics are 8-bit, but they grow on you. Texture packs can make the game look better (if you want). The game is only in alpha, meaning it will get better and more complex from here.

A few features:

  • Minecarts and track
  • Weapons and armor
  • Huge maps
  • Traps
  • Basic logic gates (someone made a simple CPU in-game)

Traps would be great if cactus didn't EAT ALL THE DROPPED ITEMS FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Also didn't he make an ALU?
