Holy crap its that time of the year already.

Spikes Video game awards are here again. And god no I will not watch it however I have no problem putting my opinion into an automated opinion machine so you should to.

As a side note there is a suspiciously large amount of Uncharted 2.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I can summarize my feelings for this and every other game awards with one word


Meh

 

[Frequen-Z]

Voted. Saw Batman more than I'd expect, so naturally, I voted for it.

 

[wooty]

Glad to see Jesper Kyd getting a mention for Orgional Score, one tick from me

 

[TPiddy]

They had Borderlands in best RPG and not best shooter.... BOO

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

For a moment I thought it was a discussion on VGA Graphics Cards, Gunna say "Yes!! I'm not the only user still running on old technology!"

 

[Jaranja]

L4D2's on Game of the Year but not Dragon Age: Origins?

These nominee's are asinine.

Well the shooter mechanics weren't the tightest in Borderlands. It still deserves the GOTY nomination though.

Meh

I too, feel this way towards game awards.

Meh.

 

[Hiphophippo]

They had Borderlands in best RPG and not best shooter.... BOO

And it wouldn't surprise me if it won either? There were some seriously suspect choices in those lists.

 

[dududf]

Bah.

Those are all bribed/payed for by adverts/fake anyways.

They will just choose a 'controversial' winner and roll around in the publicity, 'till the cows come home (Bearing another Madden, Halo, CoD, What ever the fanboys aka annoying fratboys are whining at)

L4D2's on Game of the Year but not Dragon Age: Origins?

These nominee's are asinine.

I agree, I mean L4D2 is a really fun and great game and all but Game of the Year nominee? Feh.

And that's coming from a Valve fanboy.

All these awards are bullshit as the most bland, overrated games always win it.

Besides, everyone always steals the title "Game of the Year" for their special edition anyway...it's so futile.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I'm never one to hate humanity, but when I see an award show I am filled with loathing.

I never really thought of Left 4 Dead as an actual game. It's a glorified mod, in my eyes.

 

[Arkvoodle]

Yay, another chance for an industry to collectively pat itself on the back.


Virtually all award shows are bulls@@t anyway; especially ones like these.

As much as I'm a L4D fanboy and is supposed to defend it no matter what it does, you're right, it's a Counter Strike mod that managed to get it's own game.

A bit like Killing Floor being a glorified Unreal Tournament Mod. AC2 seemed to pop up alot on the lists, is it any good?

 

[Awexsome]

The awards are just a popularity contest but I'm in it for the Halo: Reach preview.

 

[azncutthroat]

Wow, the nominees are fucking ridiculous... Why does Batman appear so many times? I heard it's above average than the typical movie-game tie-in, but surely it doesn't deserve an award...

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Yea...nice try spike but not so much, got some good games in there but alot of other great games were overlooked,instead you just nominate the same ones over, and over, and over again. im guessing you all just don't know any better. Oh and good job on nominating both GTA and fallout twice to fill the four slots for best DLC. seriously.

Best graphics is a stupid catergory, perhaps art design is a bit more appropiate. I mean... can't you just look at them point and go. yes. that one has better graphics.
