[QUOTE=""] Gears of War won the following:

Overall GOTY
Console GOTY
Outstanding Achievement in Animation
Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction
Outstanding Achievement in Online Game Play
Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering
Oustadning Character Performance (Male)
Action/Adventure GOTY



http://www.interactive.org/content/pdf/AIAS_10th_IAA_WINNNERS.pdf

The newly created Lifetime Achievement Award goes to NOA's Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln. Dan Bunten is inducted into the gaming HOF this year.

Zelda:TP won a grand total of 1 award in the Oustanding Achievement in Story & Character Development category.

However the award for best reception of an award goes to Cliffy B, accepting the prize for Gears' win for Outstanding Achievement in Online Play. The prize was presented by Sony president of worldwide studios Phil Harrison, and when Gears was announced as the winner, many an eye widened in the crowd.

As Cliff accepted the award, he made sure to mention how robust the Xbox 360's online capabilities were--a not-too-veiled dig at Harrison's PlayStation 3. Harrison took the jab in good humor even when Cliff left the stage without an acknowledgement to Harrison, and chuckled as he approached the microphone to present the next award. These are the moments that make award shows like this.

Awards are starting to mean less and less. Awards shows are moneyhatted events to sell things, Microsoft is the king of paying off reviews and developers for an edge, this award is nothing new. MEh.

That will be the last we see of him in this thread.  He posts just like Reset7machines, when someone calls him and he can't defend himself he just leaves or changes the subject...coincidence...?....:shock:

Bigboss does the same thing. Maybe they're all the same person. haha. it'd be funny if they were all the same person, and that person would log out of one account and log in another to back up his other account to make it look better.

To be honest though I'm not sure if it actually deserved all those awards. Art direction? Animation? Character performance? Not that those things were bad in Gears, but surely there must've been something better released in 2006? Also, Capcom is absent once again, sucks. Okami should've won Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction.

The only thing is that I can't name any Wii or 360 fanboys who are this intense.  I mean nano's account was created 2 days ago and what is his post count? 500? I dunno I'm not gunna scroll up...

back on topic now:  Epic did a fantastic job with Gears, it is one of my favorite games to play whenever I get the chance.  I've had my copy of it waiting for me to get a 360 for about a month now...absolutely cannot WAIT to see it all the way through.

I agree that Okami should have won for art direction.  But technically, Gears is like living in a real life comic book.  The characters are big and beefy...the environments are dark and sinister.  Maybe thats why it won.

Why should they? To know your own excellence, you should not have to pay for it.

To Sony fanboys they seem less, to those that loved Gears far more though, one game getting nearly ALL awards ? That is no small win

I prefer Okami to Gears, FFXII and KH2 were really great games also. I'm surprised that Zelda didn't come out as the big winner. but thats great for cliffy b, its not like phil harrison and him are competeting. dr.PH doesn't even develop games.

Cliffy laid the smackdown on the ps3

every1 point and laugh at the ps3 and resistance.

  • What happened to this resistance game that is supposed so great that cows claim is better than geow?

how many awards did resistance win the year?  i know that gears has won well over 100. 

When its all said and done, the xbox 360 will have atleast 4 goty awards over the course of its lifetime

pretty much. haters always amaze me at times like this.
