Its because people voted for the award online. And Halo 2 users were all too busy playing the game and enjoying it. PS2 fanboys had nothing better to do than vote for the game that they cant play for too long at a time.

Why!!!!!!!???????????? That was the worst award ceremony I’ve ever seen, it was dirty, it was bad, and felt turning it off every time the TV blanked an" F” word. I thought Halo 2 was surely going to win against the inferior theme of GTA. I only saw Marty and some other guy I've never seen before go up to get the best first-person action award, which is good, for like a millisecond then went to a commercial then to a rap song. I might be flamed, but I have seen and played better games than GTA San Andreas, which was Halo 2. Why!????

maybe alot of people voted or since this world is so corrupt that ROCKSTAR paid to be the Game of the year.

It didn't win because Halo 2 has its downfalls just like every other game. There are other good games out there besides Halo 2 people. Not that any of those games were that amazing either. Half Life 2 seemed deserving of the award IMO.

Plus, did you happen to see that the the show consisted of almost every rapper out there. Which game do you think they'll like more, GTA:SA or H2? Seriously.
The show was a pathetic joke filled with crappy music and awards given out based on personal preferences and not on actual achievements.

Because SpikeTV doesn't deserve to call themselves a channel, and watching anything on that network is a complete waste of time. I had this opinion before Halo 2 was even released so don't call me a fan boy.

If anyone thinks San Andreas deserves such an award for its rehashed engine, absence of any storyline and unoriginal concept -- then we have gone mad.

Halo 2 is, by far, the better looking game. Compared Halo 2's storyline, playing San Andreas is like reading a Richard Scarry children's book.

I was truly shocked by the outcome of this vote. I thought Halo 2 or Half Life 2 would garner most of the awards but I was wrong... dead wrong.

I guess the "thuggery is cool" mentality won the day on Spike TV. People think Pimps are the coolest persons to walk the Earth, and if a game allows you to put yourself in the shoes of such a cool person, that game is awesome. Regardless of graphics.

The people have spoken... or, actually, they have mumbled something incoherently or idiotic.

Lost History, this is SpikeTV we're talking about. They rely on rappers and other gimmicks to get ratings, why shouldn't they choose a game with boring missions and a shallow storyline to win their award? It's not really worth worrying about, SpikeTV is a disgrace. It's one of those things where I could go on for 10 pages about how much I hate them, like a few other things I'm sure people have seen me post.

I've actually approved of their awards in the past. I will admit that because of college, I haven't had access to TV or spike TV for that matter and I guess I haven't seen what it had become as of late.

Although I know Spike TV has always boasted itself as the Network for Men, I didn't know it began boasting itself as the Network for Idiots as well.

To tell the truth, Halo 2 did have some problems in the cinematics, but why GTA? it has crappy graphics but you knew it would own the First person Action category.

Halo 2 could have won Game of The Year but they were set on a release date. Everything had to be done. That's my theory.

EDIT- Why the hell do gamers buy GTA:SA more than Halo 2 even though in the long run, once they finish GTA:SA, it is a complete waste of money. What are they goign to do? Roam the vity for the 50000th time? I had Vice City and I know once i beat it, it was useless.

EDIT- i think that the story for Halo 2 could have been better. I just hope there are no libraries in Halo 3. Since it is coming out for Xbox 2, I am not going to bother unless it comes out for Xbox.

Halo 2 should have won! I Got board with GTA the 3rd or 4th time I played, I think it sucks. I just think if Halo 2 was out a little longer it would have won! Just bad timeing.

I just have one comment to say:

Gta is garbage, if you even play that stupid ass game u should be shot. Halo2 is the best game ive ever played. GTA DONT EVEN HAVE ANY ONLINE FEATURE!!!! who wants to play a game by urself.... i know i dont, i get lonley; hell if i ever played that game i would want to die. The sex is fake....lol the god dam car bounces and sounds like a freaking bike nut tightener!!!! I just dont know why ever one sees this ghetto rip off of the E awards, as a really important award...... there a bunch of ghetto bangers... E3 is a much more profesional awward ceremony than that garbage gangster -blam!-.

really if halo 2 was not going to win regardless atleast something unique like burn out or half life 2, I mean come on there would have never been a GTA 3 to begin with if it wasnt for games like max payne and hit man. GTA 3 was cool at the time but vice city and san andreas are no different, same engine same lame graphics, same game play just a different story. The whole award show was pretty lame if you ask me. Dont get me going about snoop, hes a great musican Ive seen him live on several ocasions, but like WTF was up with those to weak performances?? I was hopeing funk master flex was introducing busta rhymes for a song, and then snoop came out again, like wtf? that was a lame award show over all, and i think that guy that was supposed to be singing with snoop only made snoop like like a moron. Am I surprised that halo 2 didnt win game of the year? sadly no, Spike TV is really nothing but band wagon jumpers thriving on popularity, and I agreed with

there a bunch of ghetto bangers... E3 is a much more profesional awward ceremony than that garbage gangster -blam!-.

It's simple, the judges obviously were intoxicated during the judging and/or accepted a generous bribe from the nice fellows of Sony. Not that anyone cares what Spike thinks anyway...can I get an amen?

If H2 had won you'd all found it very important. Dont be such a crybaby.
