Yoot Saito is making Odama? I think that's the first time I've heard that.

Pretty good for Nintendo, but it looks like Halo 2 is going to be the big winner. What's up with Baten Kaitos, Paper Mario 2, and Tales of Symphonia getting snubbed in the RPG category? I'd think that at least one of those would have made the cut.

Umm, did you even READ the Odama thread? Why in the world did you think I was talking about SimTower? :)

Oh, and Half-Life 2... I haven't seen any videos of it but honestly I do not care. It'll have to be REALLY good to live up to the first game, and I don't know if it can do that... especially with such a long development cycle, when a game is delayed this much it can be a sign of bad things (especially when it was supposedly pretty close to release last fall). But we'll see. It'll be good, for sure, but will it live up to all this hype?

Actually I was wondering why you were talking about Sim Tower...

*sigh* No one actually "read" my post where I said that, or the article I posted, then. Why do I even bother...

It's by Yoot Saito -- maker of the fun game SimTower (and its sequel Yoot's Tower)... interesting... it sure sounds strange. But fun.

I guess this doesn't look familiar.

The fact that the other name (or was it the name of the sequel? I'm not sure...) that was mentioned for the game was Yoot Tower also draws a blank, despite the fact that several people mentioned that game?

Oh, and Rome should have been nominated for Game of Show. Not stupid Half-Life. :)
