The dev post where it is announced that EU3 is being nominated for game of the year is that devs 666 post :wacko: Is this some sort of sinister sign???

Last place by less than 100 votes, come on, lets beat GrimGrimoire (PS2). btw: I have never heard of that game, but even more people haven't heard of EU3.

Got my vote for one excellent game .

I have this strange feeling, that EU3 is not going to win...

By the way EU3 got my vote.

EU3 is certainly not going to win in the world of Gamespot. That whole site is about praising and rewarding graphics. They do appreciate good gameplay if it happens to appear -- but the absence of it in a game is not a dealbreaker for them. A great graphics engine with mediocre gameplay still has a good chance of winning an award. The converse, however -- not so much.

They just want us to vote for EU3 so they can stick a nice shiny sticker when they re-release it.

EU3 is certainly not going to win in the world of Gamespot. That whole site is about praising and rewarding graphics.

Or perhaps it just takes a certain kind of person to appreciate a complex historical strategy game, the kind of person that isn't a majority in almost any demographic.

Added my vote.. it's the only proper strategy game in the list

I was thinking the same thing when I looked at it.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Yeah; as far as I can make out, any game that is not an FPS or an RPG is a "strategy" game...

It gives the kids more of a sense of pride, I guess, as they mash their buttons...

I voted for EU3, but I think it's wrong to combine TB- with RTS-games. They are two different genres of strategy that are difficult to compare. However, seeing that some games, such as Rise of Nations, have tried to combine the two genres (altough the TB-feature in RoN is pseudo), I'm not surprised they put it all together. Perhaps they will also throw a RPG-game next year...

"Proper" being defined as...?

I voted for EU3, but I think it's wrong to combine TB- with RTS-games.

But EU3 IS an RTS.

While I was dissapointed of both Supreme Commander and World in Conflict too, I was far less dissapointed on them than on EU3. They both felt far more sophisticated and working.

Then again, I find none of the five spectacularily good game or anything.
