12 opinions for Sega Nominated on 1UP 07 Awards

    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…

    I’ll vote Sega however, this is the way

    In fact I’m voting to all SEGA games…

    SEGA had too many great games for 2007
    and for 2008 I hope they can be even better!
    (Well, they already have a great line-up for 2008)

    I’m sorru, but you can’t threaten me into picking all Sega games. I’ll pick on my own.

    -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.
