Sorry, but that's just utter b******s. No ifs or buts or shadows of doubt, Little King's Story.
I very much doubt that any of the GJ voters have even heard of the game, let alone played it. What a complete mainstream bottom-licking these awards have turned into.
Mainly because of a lack of promotion and advertising, but also because too many so-called 'core' gamers are stuck in a rut and can't see further than HD shooty sweary realism.
Little King's Story is bright, colourful and cartoony, therefore a simplistic kid's game. As is Zack and Wiki and many other Wii games. - That's not true of course, but that's how many of today's gamers think.- Little King's Story is one of the most intellegent and strategic adventures this gen.
It's a damn shame that too many make their gaming purchases/choices based on how 'mature' the visuals look.
Was LKS even in the selection list of games to vote for?
No. This is why the GJ awards voting system needs a complete overall. - How can you have a list of the best Wii games of the year, with utter s**te like Force Unleashed on it, totally disregarding the real gems like Little King's Story, Punch-Out!! and World of Goo? - It's a complete joke.
You should be able to vote for any game, no matter how obscure or low-selling. After all, the big sellers seldom have that 'classic' quality to match their sales figures.
