So why is AH in the vote? I mean its not as if AH was released in 2002?

I voted HTC for developer, they have been great.

Best game of the year, at least for the Wargamer has to be CMBB for me.  I love AH but don't consider it essentially a 2002 game, although it is much improved.  As many of you know I gave it last years Online Sim of the year awards for SimHq.  I still consider it among the best games made, guess that's why I fly it all the time.

Other than a marketing blurb, isn't this worthless?

Every game community will no doubt rally and campaign to move their product to the top of the list.

It's nothing but a popularity contest... a completely subjective one.

The big winner? WarGamer and their advertising $$$.




There... cynical enough? :D

I also prefer to see the way SimHQ and Combatsim judge their awards but at the end of the day someone has to win a poll like this and if all it takes is 5 minutes to thank HTC for the work they have put in this year and to possibly raise the profile of HTC and Aces high in the online community then it is worth it.

For the same reason, FA 3.5 and WB3 shouldn't be in there--the site re-mailed me and said I needed to change the votes--no AH anywhere this time.

Once again a website ignores the most popular MMOL flight sim, in favor of the old decrepid Warpbirds.  AH is nowhere, but WArpbirds....a game with 1/3 the players and only half the gameplay is there.....

Its just like the Gamespot best of awards....they have the same old drivel about Warpbirds being the only the best no comp no nothing close to it......yet again.


I get bored with the constant BS of these websites.  They are innacurate, and have some very blatant marketing skew on oh so many levels.

Im just going to enjoy AH, and let the others die a slow death

Geezus, look at that sim list.

Heli Hero's? What in the hell is that?
Flanker? Great sim when I had a P90.
BattleCruiser? lol!

What a silly poll. CFS3 might even studder it's way to the top.

It would be easier to just send pizza to HTC. :)

WB3 might count because it was released as boxed game this year.

CMBB and Hearts of Iron have been exceptional releases.
