The 2008 Crispy Awards: Special E3 Edition

"I'd like to thank my agent, my mom, my wife, but most of all I'd like to thank Uncle Crispy. Because without that old, smelly bastard, none of this would be possible. This one's for you, Uncle C.! I'm the king of the world! Wooooo!"

The pageantry. The pomp. The circumstance. The crap musical numbers.

The Crispy Awards certainly has it all. We've saved a seat for you, friend, right in the front row, between Peter Moore and Phil Harrison. Get comfortable and put your cell on vibrate, and if you're going to eat jelly beans, please do so quietly. The lights are dimming, the curtains are parting -- the 2008 Crispy Awards for E3 2008 are about to begin...

The Most Improved Award
And the Crispy goes to: Too Human. After all those choppy, horrible showings at previous E3s? We'll say this: You've really come a long way, baby.

The Review-Proof Game of the Year Award
And the Crispy goes to: Wii Music. Go ahead, give it all the 0/10s, Fs and no stars you want. Like the mummy in those old Boris Karloff movies, this damn thing cannot be killed.

When Cammie showed that birthday card and letter I thought that Nintendo was going to announce some freaky Wii Scrapbooking game.

Wii Music - wins the "NEVER COMING INTO MY HOUSE" award. I have heard noisy toys before and this is a nightmare. Five screechy electronic toys that sound like cheese graters on my spine even in the demo. OMG, are they insane! That game will be a word-of-mouth nightmare for them with parents once they realize how bad it is. Why not sell it with Q-tip cotton balls for parents' ears.

Having seen the Nintendo presentation via webcast, it was horrifying how little Cammie Dunaway seemed to be able to use the Wii products. Ever play what you sell? Even if she is relatively new, then someone should make sure she knows how to play before putting her up there.
