 GAME OF THE YEAR BioShock STUDIO OF THE YEAR Harmonix BEST SHOOTER Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision/ Infinity Ward) BEST RPG Mass Effect (Microsoft Game Studios/ BioWare) BEST MILITARY GAME Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision/ Infinity Ward) BEST INDIVIDUAL SPORTS GAME skate (Electronic Arts/ EA Black Box) BEST HANDHELD GAME The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo/ Nintendo) BEST GRAPHICS Crysis (Electronic Arts/ Crytek) BEST GAME BASED ON A MOVIE OR TV SHOW The Simpsons Game (Electronic Arts/ EA Redwood Shores) BEST RHYTHM GAME Rock Band (MTV Games/ Harmonix) BEST DRIVING GAME DiRT (Codemasters/ Codemasters) BEST ACTION GAME Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo/ Nintendo) BEST TEAM SPORTS GAME Madden NFL 08 (Electronic Arts/ EA Tiburon) BEST SOUNDTRACK Rock Band (MTV Games/ Harmonix) BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY The Orange Box/ Portal (Valve/ Valve) BEST XBOX 360 GAME BioShock BEST WII GAME Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo/ Nintendo) BEST PS3 GAME Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (Sony Computer Entertainment/ Insomniac Games) BEST PC GAME The Orange Box (Valve/ Valve) BEST ORIGINAL SCORE BioShock BEST MULTI-PLAYER GAME Halo 3 (Microsoft Game Studios/ Bungie Studios) MOST ADDICTIVE VIDEO GAME FUELED BY DEW Halo 3 (Microsoft Game Studios/ Bungie Studios) Not going to take offense to any of the winners since I haven't played all the game I wanted to this year. However, Bioshock was definitely deserving of GOTY regardless. Do not agree with it for Best Score though. There wasn't anything great outside outside of the game to listen to, but yeah it kicked ass in game. Oh and Mass Effect from what I played is also deserving for the RPG win.

Mass Effect was the least deserving or one of the least deserving of the RPGs nominated. Why do we talk about these award shows anyway? They cater to people that, well, aren't really gamers.

Well its like the question, why are we even on Gamingforce chatting?
Additional Spam: So which should have won? Eternal Sonata Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 least deserving out of those? wow (Kavanaugh hands out a piece of gum) Aceveda: No thank you.

...no, it's not like that at all.
Mass Effect is certainly not deserving of the title, but considering the people watching the show probably haven't played anything else in the genre all year, it's pretty much the only thing that could win. Colour me surprised that DiRT won for racing, though. Not complaining, as it's certainly a pleasant surprise.  |

"Yeah, so, the drunken frat crowd wins again." "I don't like these winners. That I had no way, shape or form in nominating, voting for or deciding against." That's about it.

Hard to say if they've ever been considered, but they have been nominated from time to time. Like in this one, where every game other than the winner originated from Japan.

My favorite part was where they were like OK guys let's have a recap of the awards then they named a bunch of games for awards they never fucking mentioned
THIS POST WAS FUELED BY GAME FUEL FROM MOUNTAIN DEW FUEL THE HALO GUY INSIDE YOU |

Wait wait wait. Best multiplayer game is not Orange Box (TF2) of 07?
That should tell you something about these awards and their integrity. Shame on them for not mentioning Odin Sphere, and including Twilight Princess (not 2007). I guess it's to be expected that Persona 3 wouldn't win over something as hyped as Mass Effect, even though it did get really high praise. The game is now out of print. :moreyouknow:

The VGAs have always been a massive joke anyway. As mentioned before it's all a huge popularity contest. Most addictive game Halo 3. Are you fucking serious. Warcrack is still the biggest addictive game. (OH WAIT~ It was sponsered by GAME FUEL. O okay. Makes sense. lulz)
Anyways, yeah. I caught the last hour of it when I awoke due to it being so fucking hot. Only part I enjoyed was the Video Games Live montage I heard with Frogger, Pong, etc. Best sports game. Madden. Laffo. I guess its mandatory for Madden to win some kind of award each year. Call me when Madden gets to be as good as ESPN NFL 2K5 was. Overall a huge disappointment this year, although Little Big Planet looked cool as hell and whatever that one game was, [Prototype]? |

Of course they're a joke. Because all they do is choose from the "BlockBuster" games. Games like Persona 3, Growlancer, etc will never be up for VGAs and therefore they're not really choosing from everything. Instead they're choosing from their own biased little pool of crap.
When the GOTY nominees are the same as their Xbox 360 GOTY nominees, wonder who's funding them? What a BAAAAD joke... Also wonder if the Mountain Dew & Halo 3 marketing campaign is what decided that win... laughable...

Considering we just had a huge row about review sites basing their scores on how much advertising money they were given, did anybody think there was even the remotest chance of something obscure making the list?
Hell, for that matter, is there anything on that list besides Mario and Zelda that's NOT a western-made game? I think it's pretty obvious who's paying the bills here, and it's not Atlus.  |

Disclaimer: BioShock is a fantastic game.
Now, games I have played that released this year which I got more playtime and overall enjoyment out of than BioShock: The Orange Box Super Mario Galaxy Crackdown (Why did this get zero nominations, let alone awards. Let's just forget about everything that came out before August.) Halo 3 Rock Band  |
