Crumpled Tin Awards: Game of the Year

The poll for Game of the Year will soon be closed, and I have actually decided to listen to the voters this year. Your choice will determine the Game of the Year that will receive the luxurious Crumpled Tin Award. Hopefully I'll be able to afford a better trophy next year, but that's beside the point for now. The people have spoken, and here's the winner:

The Crumpled Tin Award for Game of the Year, 2007, goes to:

Not Manhunt 2 by Rockstar Games

You all voted, and by an overwhelming majority the winner was "Please use Google Maps to find and kill the guy who said Manhunt 2 was the best." The gaming industry has unofficially disowned this game that caused so much negative media for them. Concerns over ultra-violent games rose yet again, (even though the worst in Manhunt 2 can be seen in Hostel films), and the game wasn't even any good. We could defend Grand Theft Auto, but Manhunt didn't deserve it.

I was having a very difficult time picking the best game of this year, and at least I manage to be completely unique in my pick by listening to the poll voters. Now, I need to wrap this up so I can wrap up and send packages of crumpled tin to every game publisher except Rockstar. That's going to take a while...
