------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best Of:
Best Music - Mafia (never heard of it)
Best Sound - Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (expansion for MOH? Never played the original ...)
Best Story - Freedom Force (appears to be comic book heros ... never heard of it)
Best Graphics (Technical) - Unreal Tournament 2003 (w00t! ... never played it either)
Best Graphics (Artistic) - Syberia (do I live in a hole? never heard of this either)
Best Expansion Pack - Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles (Dark Age ... yeah heard of that. It was good enough to be expanded?)
Best Budget Game - Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (Ha ha, Serious Sam, laughs around)
Must Improved Sequel - Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (This game I want, very very much)
Biggest Surprise - Battlefield 1942 (I should get this? Ok it's on the list.)
Best Game No One Played - MoonBase Commander (If no one ever played it, how do you know it's good?)
Best Single-Player Action - No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way (Hate the name, but the screenshots look good. Putting it on the list)
Best Multiplayer Action - Battlefield 1942 (back again ... star next to its name)
Best Adventure - Syberia (ok it's here twice now ... still not on the list)
Best Driving - Rally Trophy (never heard of it. It beat F1 2002 and Rallysport Challenge though ... must be good)
Best Role-Playing Game - Neverwinter Nights (Better than EverCrack? ... I'm not an RPG guy. Thanks though)
Best Sci-Fi Simulation - Star Trek: Bridge Commander (That's a shock! Most people don't like the Trek stuff ... and the games almost always blow goats)
Best Simulation - Flanker 2.5 (Eh ... wha'zat?)
Best Sports - Madden NFL 2003 (Sports games on the computer ... how about you go outside and run around?)
Best Single Player Strategy - Medieval: Total War (Yet again, never heard of it)
Best Multiplayer Strategy - Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (As much hype as there was for this game, it should have won more awards)
Game of the Year on PC - Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (oops, spoke too soon (: )
Most Disappointing Game - Civilization III: Play The World (Yeah, Civ has worn out its welcome)
Worste Game - Demonworld: Dark Armies (Ha ha, gotta love that!)
I kept looking for games like Halo, GranTurismo, Final Fantasy ... oh wait, those are all from last year when game publishers actually had something GOOD to produce. What games from this year actually stand out in your mind as "epic games" ?? Not much of anything.

So two of the top three are tri-platform games ... way to go guys."All other things being equal, we preferred to honor those games that were released exclusively for a particular platform."
