2008 saw a lot of highs and lows in the realms of movies and video games. Records were broken, hype was built and classics were born. But besides The Dark Knight there were a lot of other cool things too. Robots fell in love, brothers were Super Smashed and Metal Gear’s convoluted plot lines were unraveled (and still left some confused). And then there’s The Love Guru! Being the fan of movies and games that I am, I thought why not give my thoughts on the cream of the crop of 2008. I may not be the most technical individual, so the “awards” won’t include too many of the categories that you may be used to seeing, I simply like to celebrate movies and games as a whole. And of course I like to celebrate the characters that can make people flock to a theater, pick up a controller, or run screaming. Each award will include a short list of runners-up, but don’t think of them as runners-up, as I also recognize their achievements and they could have also won, so they are given the “silver award” status. I will also include a few honorary awards at the end. I So without further rambling, on to business. Let’s start with the movie awards.
