The Purple Video Game Awards 2008 - Introduction

[Fez]

Andddd so ends another year in gaming, and a mediocre one at the very best - GTA IV mediocred audiences in April, METAL GAUR finally died in May and we got a taste of all sorts of goodies and the zombie apocalypse in November.

So I guess it's time to celebrate 2008 (WOOO) but in a more formal way than getting drunk and playing halo all night.

This year is more organised and stuff, and has been brutally murdered into nine categories, why nine? Because I like to keep one step behind (cookies for whoever gets the reference)

- PS3 Game Of The Year (Today at 9:30)
- 360 Game Of The Year (Today at 9:45)
- Wii Game Of The Year (Today at 10:00)
- Nintendo DS/PSP Game Of The Year (Double thread for both platforms, tomorrow at 8:00)
- Overall Handheld Game Of The Year (Tomorrow at 8:30)
- Most Disappointing Game (Tomorrow at 9:00)
- The 'OMGWTH' Award (Biggest surprise, Monday 5th January at 8:30)
- PC Game Of The Year (Monday 5th January at 9:30)
- The Purple View's Ultimate Game Of The Year (Tuesday 6th January at 9:00)

Yes I'm getting OCD somehow, but it doesn't hurt to be organised!

Results will be announced next Friday, woohoo!

[Technologic]

You'd better put mirrors edge as most dissapointing
