The 2006 Koopa Awards

[Koopa W.]

Uncle Sam wants YOU... to vote in the Koopa 2006 Video Game Awards!!! There are no nominees, any game is eligible, and I have the categories. My vote is right beside it.

 

Rules:

 

1. Only vote for categories where you feel comfortable.

2. In the Console Categories (Best PS2 Game, Best DS Game, etc.), I mean exclusives only. If you want to vote for Zelda or Oblivion or Rayman, please vote for it under Best Multiplatform Game

Best Dave Review of 2006- Vortex (SNES)

Worst Game You Bought in 2006 That Didn't Come Out in 2006- Rugby 2004

[IronKnux]

I think it's offensive that you "ranked" the VGC users. Shawn may be a little forceful in his opinions, but it's degrading and rash to call him the worst. There are no "worsts"; it's an online forum, there's obviously going to be a variety of opinions.

I have a new category:

 

Only Game Not to Win a 2007 Koopa Award: Odama (GC)

[Michael Danehy]

I can't believe there's a "Desperate Housewives" game.

 

[Alienblue]

While Koopa may have done himself a diservice by "ranking" VGC users, ( Shawn is ok in my book!) you have to give him credit for not rating himself as "best VGC user"!

Instead, I WIN! YES, YES!(crowd cheering noise) thank you, thank you, I couldn't have done it without all you little people and the hard work of Dave himself! Thankuvedymuch!

So, do I get a woodie award or something? Or at LEAST a
Bronze Koopa shell!

I thought this one was funny.  If there are two colons in the title, you've named it too much. 

[ActRaiser1]

Wonder if we could get a poll going for this?

This is a sham!  I've been the worst member here 3 years running, I demand a recount!
