I like how we can vote for NiGHTS: JoD even though all of twenty people in the gaming public have actually played the final build.

Not only that Hudson, but am I the only one who thought some of the choices in the catagories were a little weird…
Best Action Game: Mario Galaxy
Best Adventure Game: Tomb Raider Anniversary…
I know they both can be described as those types of games… But surely Tomb Raider would be more of an Action title (shooting, killing etc…) And Mario would be more of an Adventure title?
Oh well I pretty voted for Sega all the way ;)

Technically isn’t Guilty Gear a Sega game? You know with the Sega Sammy merger and all…

SEGA had too many great games for 2007

-I forgot to add.
If CRUSH doesn’t win Best Puzzle game, then there is something wrong with this world.
I’d argue that it was one of the best games this year out of any genre, on any console.
Definitely the best PSP game of the year.
