lol, what a joke. It's basically one huge commercial targeted at prepubescent boys. This is why we can't have nice things.

There's always a diamond in the rough.

i watched it last year and they picked just about every game i thought was not going to win.

Don't they always pick American games to win these awards....? Like the only non-American game that won anything was Super Mario Galaxy :S

[BlackFox898]

what other non North American games are there then that were good?

[BlackFox898]

man WTF, these awards are so bias, first award for best shooter goes to gears2, before that they were talking about how good it is and the new content and everything. these awards are bullsh!t.

Everything sucked so much dick. Game of the year doesn't belong to GTA4. GTA4 is a shitty remake of GTA3. GTA SA> GTA4.

Something like MGS4 should've won, but like the other games it lost it chance because it isn't multi platform.

GoW2 = / = Best Shooter.

Whole thing sucked.

Yea these awards are a joke.

i mean Resistance 2 listed among the contenders for best multilayer game? WTF is
that all about , its a good game but i dont think so. and Super Smash
Bros. Brawl losing out on best Wii game to Boom Blox...a game that's crap and was
slated by reviews and gamers alike.

Just wait for the industry awards...more credible then these crap ones.

i put the result list in my original post.
EDIT: tbh, after looking over the list some of the choices were actually pretty good but the delivery at the awards ceremony was horrible. For half the awards they just ran over a list in there hand, didn't call anyone up to the stage or anything, and gave out stupid awards like best actor in a movie in a game??ex
