The latest news about the Halo series of games from Microsoft

EGM votes Halo GoTY

Not sure how I missed this (my issue came several days ago), but Electronic Gaming Monthly listed its 2001 Gamers’ Choice Awards in the April 2002 issue… and Halo picked up Game of the Year.

And on the first day the Xbox did launch with a Halo, and we looked upon it, and we saw that it was good.

Halo placed 3rd in the Readers’ Choice poll at EGM’s website – 4 votes (of a total of nearly 5000) shy of Final Fantasy X, and 80 votes shy of Grand Theft Auto III. It also won the Readers’ Choice Xbox Game of the Year (though the EGM editors decided they couldn’t give it both titles, so their Xbox pick was Oddworld). Thanks to VeeoftheMiB for the heads-up!
