Splinter Cell beat out Prime? Now I'm really looking forward to this game.

Splinter Cell must be good to beat Prime. I'm so going to get it.

Does this mean that Battlefield 1942 is their GoY? Splinter Cell wasn't even nominated in that, so to become the console GoY....

^Yep, just confirmed from AIAS themselves.

Sheesh. The game that wows the AIAS is, again, not the one that wowed about everyone else--GTA III was on top of many "Best of" lists in '01, but Halo got the honor from AIAS.

Prime sucks c**k anyway. I hate that game I dont know what people see in it. No offense

02-28-2003, 05:31 PM

^Let me put it this way:
Metroid Prime was to Metroid what:
GTA III was to GTA
Zelda:OoT was to Zelda
Super Mario 64 was to Mario

You get the idea.

Super Metroid was much better

I kick ass

on a completely unrelated note, look, Animal Crossing won a couple, proving that I am right about it's kickassingness.

I think Riku has gone insane. No one can say such things about Metroid Prime without having completely lost their marbles.

I wasn't planning on Splinter Cell, but since it's getting so much recognition as a great game, I might get it after all.

Wow, AC did surprisingly well.

I didn't realize Splinter Cell was gonna come to GCN. That's good news

I think it's coming in May. 5 months after the Xbox and 2 months after PS2. At least we still get it...
