linkspast Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I voted... Its nice not having to register for something I dont care too much about.. Also looking at the wii`s game of the year.. . Makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Spike has never had any credibility as an authority of videogames. Regardless, I gave a few votes. I feel like such a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Some of those categories...best DLC, really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Random Tiger Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's SpikeTV, so I wouldn't surprised if Halo 3 and MW2 won every award, even the categories they're not in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 i am offended that they dont have my favorite games up for best game!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scufo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I went through like 8 categories before stopping because the only nominee I have played is l4d2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Derrit Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 this would be a great thing if the same games weren't nominated for EVERY CATEGORY at least 5 of the categories had 3 games from the "game of the year" category and then one other wildcard to appease people, and there are multiple categories that have the same 6 games scattered through them over and over. there is no variety to choose from. at least they're letting people vote though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcana Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thing that annoyed me the most is that at least three of the games that were nominated came out two days ago and about a day before the awards were announced. Left 4 Dead 2 Super Mario Bros. Wii Assassins' Creed 2 You'd think there would be a cutoff point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This is kinda stupid. Most of the games I see here are just ultraviolent blood-and-gore games. But fuck it, I'm voting for whatever games I know. Edit: Quit voting after third category. It's like these lists were made by 12-year-old X-Box fanboys.

Voted, regardless. Plugged L4D2 as much as possible, of course - not that it'll do much good against Call of Doody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 That's cool if you want to vote, I just couldn't vote anymore because all they put on there were bloody games with guns. If that's your cup of tea, fine, but I think that they forgot 20 other genres of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivi22 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Edit: Quit voting after third category. It's like these lists were made by 12-year-old X-Box fanboys. I'd agree with this statement for the most part, though Dragon's Souls got nominated for best RPG. It may be deserving of it, but I really didn't see it coming considering this is an awards show where 3 of the 4 nominees for best soundtrack are music games like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not SERIOUS BUSINESS. It's a show about some good games that came out this year, that's all. People find all kinds of crazy ways to take stuff so personally.

The Damned Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 So, is it still terribly cringe-inducing like all the previous years? You know, like hearing your really old, out-of-date relatives talking about GameBoys and Ataris and that Maria Brothers game they played back in the 90s?

zircon Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 For people complaining about how the awards are primarily centered around the big Xbox games... who do you think the largest demographic for games is? Not us. We're niche gamers. Also, supposedly some of my music was used for this, but I dunno where. Post if you hear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Splint Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Handheld Game of the Year = Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars? Ummmmmmm.....No But, as previously mentioned, this is Spike. I mainly watch for the World Premieres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome man, where did you hear your stuff was in here? But, as previously mentioned, this is Spike. I mainly watch for the World Premieres. That's the spirit.
