MOST INNOVATIVE

HL2 showed the best innovation of any game, the differences may not have been very big, but noone elses were either.

 

[Asuka]

Very nice! What makes this even better is that it won on a magazine that rates console games and all. Woot!

looks to me like hl2 wasn't even in competition with halo 2 in thises catgories . so quit being a hl2 kiddie

 

[Zerimski]

If you'd like to take a sneaky peak at the Best Game award, you'll see Halo 2 coming in third. I'd call that being on competition with it, but then again, I'm just being logical

[DarkGhost86]

Good Work! Valve!

 

[Thadius Dean]

Haven't played DX:IW?

The physics is there, but tied into the gameplay in DX:IW? That's another matter :dozey:

Incidently, where did this awards info derive from? They didn't even list HL² in the Christmas issue in their games of the Year section (hell old Gordon wasn't even on the cover line up ....).
