It's a gala event and all the stars are turning out to see who all the winners are! Check out who and what ruled, and reeked in 2001! Let the awards begin!



Best graphics Award - Game Boy Advance:

Golden Sun

The amazing richness of color and special effects outshine every other title on the handheld. – Rick Powers

Get past the sequence at the beginning and the game just keeps sucking you further in. The battle scenes alone really make the GBA look incredible, can’t wait for Camelot to begin kicking out titles on the GameCube and I pray Nintendo locks them in as a dedicated 2nd party for the foreseeable future. – Justin Nation

It reminds me of a classic 16-bit RPG only with better spell effects. – Mike Sklens

Without a doubt, Golden Sun takes the GBA's display to the max. It's also a must-have for RPG fans. – Mike Hrusecky

From the first screens until release, Golden Sun has wowed all. Smooth and colorful with pseudo-3D battles, I'm not sure if anything else matches it yet. I haven't played the game, but I really should ;-) – Michael Cole

Really, no one expected something so pretty to be on the AGB so early. The clever use of scaling, Mode 7, --and above all-- the spectacular particle effects will forever remain a testament to the flexibility and great power lurking beneath the AGB hood. – Zosha Arushan

Runner Up: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2
