Halo2 was voted by IGN as the best game at the show. It should have also won the graphics catagory, but I guess you cant have it all.

Got a link? =)

I also find it funny that Gamespy was just about the only video game site that didn't put Halo in their #1 spot. Halo 2 got a miserable 14 out of 20. But that doesn't matter, Gamespy is wretchedly biased anyways.

Does anyone know what the game "Black" is. Ign described it by saying imagine Half-life 2 on Ps2 without any graphical difference.

it didn't get the award at gamespot. Have you guys heard about Black? This is the new halo killer. A 1up editor said, "Black looks almost as good as HL2 or Far Cry and it's on the PS2. This is nothing short of a miracle. The online multi-player is what Halo 2's should of been. In other words...this game just kicks ass...." -Jeremy Evans (Associate Editor 1Up)

That is pure bull-blam!-. They have only played one level of halo and it didnt have all the weapons, vehicles, and options.

I cant se how the Ps2 can handle graphics better than halo 2. The editors of IGN are stating that Black will have graphics equivalent of HL2. This is pure bull -blam!-.

You'd be surprised what the PS2 can do. Anyone that doesn't think Gran Turismo 4 is a gorgeous game is kidding themselves.

the ps2 can't possibly match graphics such as displayed in HL2 or H2.... there's probably some trick to it, like in need for speed underground where you got that haze (imo) round everything.

PS2 can do alotta things, but it is more limited than an xbox or an up to date pc.

Up to date PC? I just spent over 3k on an alienware 3.2ghz, and I can't even run Far Cry on high settings. How many years has PS2 been out?

yeh sure gt4 is pretty, because the deveopers figured out how to cheat on things like scenery by using all the digital tricks in the book, like taking a flat picture of the grand canyon, or a city scape or watever, and bending it around the level to look 3-d. they dont actually have the power to render that stuff so dont be fooled. and as far as black goes, theres no way that there "guncraft" gimmick (if u dont know wat that is just look at any of the articles about the game, its their big innovation) will over come the almighty perfection that will be h2 multiplayer not to mention the campaign

and who cares about black anyway, ign thinks its soooo great but wont even put up a single screen shot

7/20 - it was in reverse order. It's quite ironic that IGN and GameSpy are owned by the same company.

PS2 sucks! The only good games that they have are those damn Final Fantasy games I think that those games suck. Graphics suck on PS2 and you have to buy like 500 memory cards to support it. The only thing that's better about it than Xbox is the controls on sports games, and I don't like most sports games anyway. All I want is good ol' blow the -blam!- out of everyone you see and run to where you have to go. The plot of Halo is just an added bonus. And another thing, if they don't have any images to prove that this game looks as good as they say then they are probably just lying. As for PS2's RPG's, all I have to say is that Fable will kick their asses any day when it comes out.

  • 05.22.2004 12:02 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I don't care a whole lot that H2 was only seven on list, because the psp and ds were on the list, and there were a lot of good pc games at E3. What pisses me off is that Jade Empire got bast in show for xbox. Although it looks like another amazing rpg from bioware, it doesn't deserve to beat H2. And Fable should have gotten waaayy higher on the list.
-EDIT-
What do you mean by "guncraft"? I just read some articles about it, and I didn't see that word once. Do you mean that the guns are noisy and do a lot of damage to the enviroment?
