2012 VGA's on Spike

[HighJump31]

Friday, December 7th at 9/8c

Usually the awards parts are boring, but the main reason to watch is for the world premieres and new reveals. Two year's ago, Skyrim was unexpectedly announced. Last year The Last of Us.

Game of the year nominees are:
Assassins Creed III
Dishonored
Journey
Mass Effect 3
The Walking Dead: The Game

Incredibly weak field.

Seems like there were much better games out this year than those. Nothing coming to mind right now though.

Borderlands 2 should be. Especially over some of those others.

No haxball..... AGAIN???


X will be furious!!!!

Walking dead is a great emotional interactive story....

Telltale should win some awards for this 5 game series...their best series they have done by far.

 

[Crystallas]

Just to give you guys an idea of how credible these editor based awards are.

Previous Game of the Years


1994: Jazz Jackrabbit
1995: I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
1996: Duke Nukem 3D (AMAZING year for games, if you look at the other releases that qualify, picking Duke Nukem is baffling).
.............. Yeah, it does get somewhat better, but not a lot.


Anyways, the gold standard was always the EGM(pre-2004 when it switched to a writer system for awards, so like a bloggers top 10 LMAO!!!) , Nintendo Power, and The Game Developers awards. The Spike TV awards... it's like WGAF? I can nominate 10 things out of my ass too.

Oh, and that jab at game bloggers... no offense HJ. I just mean basing an awards credibility on something, not just a person's perspective(or like some of the magazines, 5 people).

None taken. I only do it for fun. I don't do it because I think I'm the next Adam Sessler or Geoff Keighley or something.

Main reason I started this thread was to let people know about the world premieres and game reveals. I personally think the awards for this show are a joke. For instance, this year they're giving the award for best game of the past 10 years. And the nominee's are:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Half-Life 2
World of Warcraft
Shadow of the Colossus
Wii Sports
BioShock
Portal
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Batman: Arkham City

GMAFB. Entertainment Weekly created that list with their all-powerful minds

Voted "You Don't Know Jack!" for Best Social Media Game.

Last of Us world premiere airing right now

[HighJump31]

Dark Souls II just announced

 

[HighJump31]

ACIII DLC- Tyranny of King Washington world premiere

Looks bad ass

 

[85Bears4life]

Walking Dead wins Game Of year award!!

Good for Telltale...TWD is a great mini series

Seems odd to me Borderlands 2 was on GOTY for xbox and ps3 but not pc. Not saying it really deserved to be. I have 200 hours into the game and like it but i think the first is more fun.
