Predictions for GB's 2010 "Joke" Awards
By Bigandtasty 2 Comments
Like I said, this is purely for fun and not meant to be serious. In fact, I'm only predicting the humorous awards.
Third Annual Soulja Boy Award for Games To Play If You Drink And Get Drunk or Smoke And Get High: Mass Effect 2
This is based mostly on the strong performance of Niftu Cal, everybody's favorite biotic god. It also helps that the nitty-gritty of the drug trade and the effects of the futuristic drugs being smuggled have been better explained in Mass Effect 2. Nice way for players who are already stoned to fantasize about better highs.
The Northies - Best Performance by Nolan North: Halo: Reach
This is a toughie because there is no Assassin's Creed or Uncharted game slated for release in 2010. I'm going to say that maybe Bungie will take risks with Reach, and that will include a more interesting story and therefore a more interesting character for North to voice, most likely one of the side members of Noble Team.
Best Late Title Card:
The Brad Shoemaker "I'm Callin' It" Award For Best Use of Zombies: Dead Rising 2
Sure, I'll put some faith in Capcom.
Best Song in a Non-Rhythm Game: Mass Effect 2
I'm not sure if Mordin's Hall and Oates song lasted over a minute, but meh.
Best Big-Ass Ramp: Just Cause 2
A "huge playground" includes big-ass ramps, right? Right?
Dave Snider's Eastern Bloc Game of the Year Brought To You By Dave Snider: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
He wasn't too big on Metro 2033, so the likeliest choice is Call of Pripyat.
Guilty Pleasure of the Year: Deadly Premonition
Why not?
