Apologies for the several shakycam captures, but this is as good as it got with Youtube right after the awards.

[Sarge51]

Thanks for this. I really don't care for Spike and I honestly didn't even know when this was going to air. (Just shows how much I care.) This way I can just view everything here. Although, most of the winners are going to be obvious.

[jonoo24]

Starcraft 2 won't even be close to loosing that last one.
You should highlight the winners in green or something.

[hawkofva]

I'm more interested in the game announcements myself, especially since one of those announcements will be the next Star Wars game.

[hawkofva]

Epic opening with Mark Hamil as the Joker. :D

Appears to be an announcement of Arkham Asylum 2.

MY picks, for the ones i care.

[kingtonyx]

Arkham Asylum 2!

[Explosion2]

who's hosting? is it Jay Mohr? I think he hosted last year, correct?

[hawkofva]

No host.

[Explosion2]

no host? not even a disembodied voice?

[Sarge51]

Arkham Asylum 2!

Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money

Although, that'd be a pretty bad game, I can bet.

[jonoo24]

DAMN YOU spike VGA's DAMN YOU

[kingtonyx]

haha that was great

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Jack Black FTW

[hawkofva]

no host? not even a disembodied voice?
Actually I think Claudia Black is doing most of those, so that's cool enough for me. She was the female lead in Uncharted 2.

[jonoo24]

Jack's hi;hilarious, but Nolan should have had that one.

[Sarge51]

Jack Black doesn't really have a good voice for video games, especially in BL. He was actually kind of annoying in that game repeating the same stuff over and over. :p

But then again, considering what he was up against...

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Oh look, an activision game.

[Sarge51]

Oh look, an activision game.

Unfortunately, but at least it's a good game.

[pacifistWITHgun]

Anyone know if Mass Effect 2 is at the show?

Otherwise I don't really care

[travmeatwad]

I turned it on late. I missed an opening with the Joker? What was it?


EDIT: Also, did anyone notice they mentioned something about a new Rock Band or something? I wonder what that's about.

[HeyRiles]

Here's to hoping Uncharted 2 wins. I haven't ever played it but I am sure I want to, looks amazing

[hawkofva]

Winners and announcements so far:

Best Voice: Jack Black in Brutal Legend
Game Trailers for Arkham Asylum 2 and True Crime

[jonoo24]

Here's to hoping Uncharted 2 wins. I haven't ever played it but I am sure I want to, looks amazing

It is amazing.

[monkeyfish]

Winners and announcements so far:

Best Voice: Jack Black in Brutal Legend
Game Trailers for Arkham Asylum 2 and True Crime

Super-boos to that. Mark Hamill was an awesome Joker, while Jack Black was just...Jack Black. Bah.

[Explosion2]

Yes, U2 is amazing. I haven't finished it yet, but it is definitely going to make the admittedly short list of games I have completed.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Angry boyfriend

[jonoo24]

joke fail by TH

[travmeatwad]

Oh, Tony. You're so funny.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Like I didnt see that coming from a mile away...

[jonoo24]

So far these awards are full of fail

[travmeatwad]

They'll just make video games about anything nowadays, huh?

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Yes, even if it is Ninja vs Knight

[travmeatwad]

I expected Infinity Ward to win that, for sure.

[SonicRocker15X]

I was leaning more towards Valve myself, with their consistent TF2 patching and L4D2.

[travmeatwad]

Yeah, I thought it would be one or the other.

Definitely not Rocksteady, though. Even though that game was fun.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

I wanted Valve to win, too.

[karaokefreak]

can somebody keep this thread updated - saying what is going on... the damn stream does not work, - it is stuck in initializing media... and for Justin TV I'd need a premium membership, which I am not going to purchase just for one show....

Please-- somebody tell me what is going on there...

[hawkofva]

I was surprised as well. I just assumed it was a toss up between Valve and IW.

The Force Unleashed 2 trailer was cool, but underwhelming for me. I was hoping they'd be introducing Battlefront 3 or a New IP.


can somebody keep this thread updated - saying what is going on... the damn stream does not work, - it is stuck in initializing media... and for Justin TV I'd need a premium membership, which I am not going to purchase just for one show....

Please-- somebody tell me what is going on there...


I've been keeping the thread updated. The first post has the winners in red and announcements at the bottom.

[monkeyfish]

OK, I've gone from apathetic to mildly interested in this show, if only for being the only videogame show that I can watch in HD and see how games actually look. :D

[karaokefreak]

ah, ok... thx.. Still, wanna see that damn show ^^
Say, isn't there another site for streaming it? Is it only justinTV and spike?

[kingtonyx]

I gotta say Jake looks right to be the Prince Of Persia

[travmeatwad]

I don't give a **** about your new show. Talk about video games. That's the point of this award show.

[HyeJinx1984]

I thought Starkiller died in Force Unleashed? A bit... underwhelming...

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Really? I expected Madden to win.

[hawkofva]

I thought Starkiller died in Force Unleashed? A bit... underwhelming...
That wasn't Starkiller, which also faintly disappoints me.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Starwars the force unleashed 2 thats the big star wars game THATS IT Im upset now, nobody cares for this WE WANT BATTLEFRONT 3 DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!, Thats what I was lokking forward to and now im not ah well i guess I'll keep watching

[travmeatwad]

New PoP looks interesting.

As long as it's like The Sands of Time, I'm happy.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Ooh Snoop Dogg

[HyeJinx1984]

That wasn't Starkiller, which also faintly disappoints me.

It wasn't? It looked just like him.

[war_lord]

I wonder if the new Prince of Persia game follows the movie's story... making it a game based off of a movie based off of a game :eek:

[travmeatwad]

Ooh Snoop Dogg

I wish they would announce when his songs are coming to RB.

That'd be sweet if they did that tonight.

[hawkofva]

It wasn't? It looked just like him.
If you look at them side by side, I'm sure you'll see the difference. It wasn't Starkiller. Guess Vader had a few Secret Apprentices.

[killer_roach]

If you look at them side by side, I'm sure you'll see the difference. It wasn't Starkiller. Guess Vader had a few Secret Apprentices.

Or it's based around a slightly different era in the SW universe...

[kingtonyx]

Olivia Wilde can present every award imo.

[hawkofva]

Two for the Wolverine game. Nice, that was a top notch game, way better than the movie.

[travmeatwad]

Okay, what is this Flower game?

And the one that came after it.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

@travmeatwad Osmosis and I have no f**king clue
What the hell is 'Splosion Man?

[jonoo24]

I wouldn't be surprised if snoop made a rap about the DLC

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Snoop Dogg is on, I like the mic ha

[Sarge51]

Flower is some weird poetic game for the PS3. and 'Splosion Man is a weird explosion game for the 360.

Both pretty "meh" in my opinion.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

lolcensorship

[Sarge51]

These awards are pretty fail...

[SonicRocker15X]

What the hell is 'Splosion Man?

The awesomest XBLA game ever.

[hawkofva]

This show is making me embarrassed to be both a guy and a gamer.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Rock band

[kingtonyx]

The awesomest XBLA game ever.

Well, Castle Crashers...

[HyeJinx1984]

This show is making me embarrassed to be both a guy and a gamer.

Same here.

Can't wait to see who "stars in the next rock band game"

Uh...

[travmeatwad]

"Who stars in the next Rock Band game?"

What!?

Another solo band game?

[Meatwad555]

The next Rock Band game? Must be Green Day.

What a disappointment...

[jonoo24]

This show is making me embarrassed to be both a guy and a gamer.

This x10000

[travmeatwad]

Ooh! I know.

Snoop Dogg: Rock Band.

Foshizzle.

[jonoo24]

"Who stars in the next Rock Band game?"

What!?

Another solo band game?

Green Day. All over the RB fourums

[travmeatwad]

Green Day. All over the RB fourums

Kind of hoping that was just a rumor. I can't see that being any good at all.

And I like Green Day.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Ya no Battlefont 3 announcement and Snoop Dogg didn't announce that he would have RB DLC and the New rock band game what could it be/sarcasm

[jonoo24]

They had a whole trailer too. WITH the Green Day: Rock Band logo at the end.

[j_dub_rules]

Wow. Green Day....ouch. This better not be a full game, or the backlash will be massive

[travmeatwad]

They had a whole trailer too. WITH the Green Day: Rock Band logo at the end.

Huh? Where?

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

It's obviously GWAR Rock Band.

[war_lord]

Wow. Green Day....ouch. This better not be a full game, or the backlash will be massive

I just hope it's not a completely stand-alone. There will be massive backlash if it's not exportable.

[Hanrahan89]

Huh? Where?

It was on MTV.com but they have taken it down you could probably find the video online though.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Huh? Where?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20vm21yiF-c

[kingtonyx]

that looked pretty cool

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

"Don't you interrupt me"

ha as they led him off the stage

[Sarge51]

Ooh! I know.

Snoop Dogg: Rock Band.

Foshizzle.

Actually, weren't we supposed to get some Snoop Dogg songs a long time ago?


It's obviously GWAR Rock Band.

Lordi itzch better.

[travmeatwad]

I lol'd at the Tiger Woods game.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Me too.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Ha Tiger woods comments pretty funny, I like that guy, refering to the sports announcer ,dont care for the UFC game

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Spec Ops The Line looks pretty decent besides the whole Gears of War ripoffiness.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

lawl
Would you like to blow up %$&# with Me?

[hawkofva]

Spec Ops The Line looks pretty decent besides the whole Gears of War ripoffiness.
It looks good, but I really, really hate sand, so I'll probably skip on that. :D

[Sarge51]

Spec Ops The Line looks pretty decent besides the whole Gears of War ripoffiness.

Lot of games recently that seem to think they can rip off GoW and get away with it.

[travmeatwad]

Snoop is talking. Announce the DLC! PLEASE!

EDIT: Or not.

[killer_roach]

Lot of games recently that seem to think they can rip off GoW and get away with it.

And Gears ripped off kill.switch. Point being?

Besides, GoW is something different. Something far bloodier than anything Epic's ever developed :)

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Borderlands wins just because it's Borderlands.
EDIT: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[travmeatwad]

Snoop's got this look like "check out this mutha****in' nerd."

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Hey look!

[j_dub_rules]

Sigh.....The begin of the end of RB . What a shame. I see this baby tanking haaaaard

[Lady Siara]

Rock Band: Green Day?

Lol. XD

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Well, these awards are fail.

[kingtonyx]

Sigh.....The begin of the end of RB . What a shame. I see this baby tanking haaaaard

No, GD:RB will sell huge.

[jonoo24]

If it exports, It will be a success, if not, then this is the beginning of the end.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

As long as it exports, I'll be good.

[karaokefreak]

See it the same way. They cannot make it a standalone game like the beatles. It will not work out, if it is not exportable. However, if it is exportable, this trackpack might become a big seller!

[j_dub_rules]

How exactly? The freakin Beatles game has sold 600,000 copies. Green Day are not the Beatles, not even close. If it's a full blown game, I see it maybe doing 200,000 total. Bad, bad idea.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

People singing walk this way

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

I pity the foo

[travmeatwad]

I'll buy it if it exports.

If not, I'll only get it if it's a gift.

[hawkofva]

That was annoying, I wasn't expecting the rapid-fire winners. I think I got them all.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

How exactly? The freakin Beatles game has sold 600,000 copies. Green Day are not the Beatles, not even close. If it's a full blown game, I see it maybe doing 200,000 total. Bad, bad idea.

It just surpassed a Million

[killer_roach]

No, GD:RB will sell huge.

Which, sadly, will once again prove Mencken right :D

[travmeatwad]

Hey, look.

MoH looks like CoD.

[j_dub_rules]

Either way, Green Day cannot hold a candle to that, especially with the perception their work has fallen off hard in recent years.

Perception?

Well, I guess "fact" would be a bit too strong, but only slightly.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

I wonder what wll win this category
/sarcasm

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Medal of Honor looks pretty damn awesome! The graphics look much more clear than Modern Warfare 2.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Really? DJ Hero?

[travmeatwad]

TB:RB didn't win Best Soundtrack? Lame.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Dj hero for best soundtrack, thats bull that soundtrack sucked and this award show sucks

[hawkofva]

Medal of Honor in Afghanistan intrigues me.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Stevie Wonder!!!! -> :cool:

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Stevie Wonder! :)

[Explosion2]

@Julio: I guess I'm special then. :cool:

EDIT: dangit you found the emoticon.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Best music game is.............................................

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Poor Stevie Wonder It would suck to be blind

[travmeatwad]

TB:RB better win Best Music Game.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

If DJ Hero wins this I will shoot a baby.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I hope Stevie Wonder's advocacy for blind-accessible video games will help devs realize what a huge base they're missing.

BEATLES ROCK BAND WON!!!!!!!!!

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Beatles Won YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

The Bravery are okay his voice is kind of annoying

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Stevie Wonder's not blind! He just has trouble seeing!

[HeyRiles]

Good win by Harmonix there. Hopefully that gives them enough incentive to pump out more albums

[Joey-Z]

Stevie Wonder clearly gave his vision to the devil for some serious piano skills.

[ultimatespidey81]

That was annoying, I wasn't expecting the rapid-fire winners. I think I got them all.

yeah they did fire quite a few there lol

as for the green day game, i dont like this idea at all if its a stand alone game. i did buy the beatles game but, it was the beatles.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

A friend and I were talking about this;
Apenrently Green Day is this generation's Beatles..
Makes me a little mad, Green Day never started a revolution. :mad:

[HeyRiles]

I'll repost this here


I can understand why AC/DC would have their own game. They are so against any digital downloads, so it was the only way to get their songs in the game

I can understand Beatles. Apple is so intent on keeping the integrity of the Beatles in everything, so it was extremely necessary to make a game like that

I cannot for the life of me understand why all of these Green Day songs couldn't have been released as downloadable content in bunches, much like Grateful Dead or Foo Fighters

It's a terrible, terrible idea. Even if this is exportable, as much as that would help me cool off, there is absolutely no reason why Green Day NEEDED their own game like the other two, and that's what's pissing me off. This could have been downloadable content

[NoMoreVillains]

I'm disappointed that MadWorld didn't win best Wii game. I guess not even Jack could overtake Mario.

I shouted "YES" when TB:RB won best music game.

[topperharley]

DJ Hero winning best soundtrack - particularly in light of the other nominees - makes me want to cry. :(

And I agree completely with what Riles said about the Green Day... atrocity.

[travmeatwad]

Does Halo REALLY need this many games?

[ultimatespidey81]

A friend and I were talking about this;

i dont see it. no band in this era is what i would call beatles-esque. you should be mad lol.

[Joey-Z]

Does Halo REALLY need this many games?

Good game,
Bad execution. What a shame.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Does Halo REALLY need this many games?

No, everybody praised ODST while I found it to be just like the main series.

[hawkofva]

Bummer, Halo: Reach looks like they're trying to inject it with Modern Warfare.

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Expect MW2 to win, these awards are bull.
Cept for TBRB

[Joey-Z]

i dont see it. no band in this era is what i would call beatles-esque. you should be mad lol.

He told me (dead serious) that Green Day inspired modern rock,
Which might explain why Opinion alert! Avert your eyes!
rock sucks nowadays.

[Explosion2]

HOLY CRAP UNCHARTED 2 WON
that's an upset right there

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

Surprise!

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

BTW does anybody know who accepted the TB:RB award?

[ultimatespidey81]

yeah uncharted 2!!

but didn't it lose in a category against AC2?

[jonoo24]

Hey, they didn't **** this one up.

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Wow Uncharted 2 won I thought it was a shoe-in for MW2 b/c it seemed like it

[Explosion2]

I thought it was going to be MW2 too, because OMG IT'S CALL OF DUTY

I think they made a good choice.

[hawkofva]

BTW does anybody know who accepted the TB:RB award?
That was an HMXer that goes by RobotKid. (http://twitter.com/robotkid)

[HeyRiles]

Nice, Uncharted 2!

I wish I could play this game though :( most beautiful game I've seen since Fallout 3

[ultimatespidey81]

He told me (dead serious) that Green Day inspired modern rock,

that made me laugh out loud :D

[Joey-Z]

I played MW2 for the singleplayer....
Disappointment doesn't even discribe it..

[foofighterfan4Mccain]

Well to wrap this up pretty dissapointing awards show a waste of 2 hrs. in fact BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

[Oscar-Rio]

blah, Batman should have been goty

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

MW2 is the most overrated, overhyped game ever.

[Explosion2]

blah, Batman should have been goty

Have you played Uncharted though? I'm sure Batman is awesome, but I'm just asking.

[hawkofva]

I think Uncharted 2 winning Best Graphics ought to tell the guys working on Call of Duty and Halo that removing color doesn't add atmosphere to their games, it makes them ****ing boring. :p

[Oscar-Rio]

Have you played Uncharted though? I'm sure Batman is awesome, but I'm just asking.

lol....:o no

Still waiting for the PS3 to hit $249

[Joey-Z]

Have you played Uncharted though? I'm sure Batman is awesome, but I'm just asking.

That's the kind of debate you would grab a lawnchair and popcorn to watch..

Both great games.

[ultimatespidey81]

Have you played Uncharted though? I'm sure Batman is awesome, but I'm just asking.

while this is not directed at me, i will agree that uncharted was superior. i would actually have placed mw2 in last place out of the games nominated.

[Explosion2]

I haven't played Batman yet though, so I'm not one to talk either. :o

[Oscar-Rio]

I haven't played Batman yet though, so I'm not one to talk either. :o

You have a Griswold as your AV so that makes up for it.

[CommonCriminal]

I'm glad Uncharted won. It's the only nominee I had actually played, but it was ****ing awesome.

[CCDaDon]

lol....:o no

Still waiting for the PS3 to hit $249

...

Shut up and buy one already. $50? C'mon...

[Explosion2]

You have a Griswold as your AV so that makes up for it.

I played the demo, at least. I think playing that game too much would give me nightmares involving the Joker. He's pretty freaky (which is the intention, isn't it?). I'm also easily scared, so that doesn't help.

but yes, my avatar is good isn't it?

[SonicRocker15X]

Jeez. I upload a video of the Reach trailer, in poor quality, and it instantly explodes with comments and views.

[postofficebuddy]

Uncharted 2 baby! Totally deserving of Game of the Year. Best game I've played in a long time. Glad they didn't go with the mainstream choice.

[Soratar]

I called Flower being the best indie Game of the Year! I'm excited for the next Arkham Asylum game.

[Explosion2]

I actually think the sequel to AA should take place in the rest of Gotham. Imagine that. an open world Gotham? sweet.

[Joey-Z]

Flower was good,
But I like the PixelJunk games better.

[Soratar]

I actually think the sequel to AA should take place in the rest of Gotham. Imagine that. an open world Gotham? sweet.

That would be really awsome. I really like what the game developers did with the Spiderman 3 game; they had an open New York City with specific places you had to go to do missions.

[Meatwad555]

Why yes, yes it is.

[Soratar]

Backing up the idea of AA2 haveing the city in it:

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T FINISHED AA!!!

The very last scene of AA shows Killer Croc breaking out of a box in the water. This tells me that Killer Croc isn't in his cell anymore and outside of the asylum. Killer Croc would probably swim into Gothom's sewers and end up in the city. One of the missions in the game (or the boss level) could have Batman trying to capture Killer Croc and taking him back to the asylum.

[hawkofva]

I never played Spidey 3, but they pioneered that approach with Spiderman 2 on the previous generation of consoles, and that game kicked ass. Trying to lasso a helicopter with web so you could go out to Liberty & Ellis Islands was an awesome bit of gameplay.

or maybe that's the whole premise of the game? Killer Croc is on the loose, and the Joker is sending minions against you to prevent you from getting Killer Croc back to the Asylum.

/baseless speculation

Well look what I found, I trailer for it!

Don't ask me, I haven't played the game yet. Soratar was the one who was talking about the end.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/12/batman-arkham-asylum-2-announced-at-the-vgas/

yeah, I saw that before my baseless speculation (hence my tack-on of the Joker). That's vague enough to not take place at Arkham. especially the slogan "arkham has moved."

WHERE DID IT MOVE TO????? :eek:

[hawkofva]

Expect more info on Green Day Rock Band soon:

@Hawkofva There'll be some official news once VGAs airs out here on the West Coast! Stay tuned!

[Soratar]

I thought Killer Croc ate Scarecrow. :confused: I'm pretty sure the hand emerging from the box was that of a reptile.

No kidding? I saw Croc on my playthrough.

Also, before Batman took off in the Batmobile, a police scanner picked up that Two Face was robbing a bank. Maybe AA2 will be tracking down all of the escaped loonies?

*fingers crossed*

[Metal_Man]

Even though I wanted Brutal Legend to win best soundtrack

I knew DJ Hero was going to win due to all of the 14 year olds voting

[ham736]

Wow, 2010 looks great for video games. FFXIII, Green Day Rock Band, Medal of Honor, The Force Unleashed 2, BF:BC2, (possibly) FFXIV. More that I can't remember right probably too. 2010, the year gamer's wallets somehow grew blackholes.

[Blurbia]

Don't forget Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2.

Also hopefully Rock Band 3.

[jonoo24]

BEST ACTION ADVENTURE GAME
Assassin's Creed 2 (Ubisoft / Ubisoft Montreal)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Eidos Interactive - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment / Rocksteady Studios)
Brütal Legend (Electronic Arts / Double Fine Productions)
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Sony Computer Entertainment / Naughty Dog)

I'm confused.

[Cpt. Overkill]

Uncharted 2 baby! Totally deserving of Game of the Year. Best game I've played in a long time. Glad they didn't go with the mainstream choice.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Oh ****... you were serious?

[jonoo24]

While mainstream isn't exactly the right word, i agree. MW2 was such an obvious choice. Hyped to an impossible level that not even God (Johnson) could live up to. It never got an accurate review. Always 9+'s. It's a great game, but lets be realistic, it was a rehashed COD4, with some minor tweaks.

[Cpt. Overkill]

Oh, I agree that MW2 was the obvious choice. I expected it to win, but Uncharted 2 is one of the most mainstream games out there.

And, Uncharted 2 was my GotY, for the record.

[Mex]

Uncharted 2 is game of the year. You're damn ****ing right it is.

I didn't think it would win just because it was a PS3 exclusive and less people would have played it compared to a cross platform title.

Happy for Naughty Dog. (if they even care about this stuff)

[hawkofva]

Uncharted 2 was the clear winner. MW2 was a disappointing pile of dung that was nothing more than improved multiplayer and a barely coherent campaign of impossibly dramatic moments. Uncharted 2 had the quality story, MP, and some beautiful graphics, and I've never even played it. Makes me want a PS3.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

I can't wait for Halo: Reach, Green Day: Rock Band, Arkham Asylum 2, The Force Unleashed 2 and Crackdown 2.

Next year looks to be promising.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Thats wierd. I wonder if it went by like difficulty or something.

[Sarge51]

Uncharted 2 won GOTY? Meh... It's competition wasn't that great. If Dragon Age had some time on the market it probably would've won.

Of course, MW2 wins best shooter.

Chinatown Wars won the best handheld game? ...Ugh.

How did X-Men: Wolverine not win the game based of a movie award? That game was actually really cool!

DJ Hero has the best soundtrack? ...Ugh. The only song I liked on that game was the Daft Punk mix track. The rest of the songs are just mashups that don't even sound good. However, if "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit" was on it, it'd be instant win. ;)

Best original score? ...What is that even for? Just an obligatory award for a Halo game?

Megan Fox? -_____-


Halo Reach actually looks good. Sounds like they are bringing back the hardcore "rock" style of their music, too. I hope True Crime doesn't suck...

[killer_roach]

Chinatown Wars won the best handheld game? ...Ugh.

Having played it on the PSP, it's deserving. Mainly because Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days, Half-Minute Hero, and Patapon 2 are all too freaking weird to stand a chance of winning such an award. :)


DJ Hero has the best soundtrack? ...Ugh. The only song I liked on that game was the Daft Punk mix track. The rest of the songs are just mashups that don't even sound good. However, if "Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit" was on it, it'd be instant win. ;)

Or "Oops, The Real Slim Shady Did It Again"... :D


Best original score? ...What is that even for? Just an obligatory award for a Halo game?

Pretty much. Even if their scores are horribly overrated. I'm sure Dragon Age beats Halo: Reach next year, though.


Halo Reach actually looks good. Sounds like they are bringing back the hardcore "rock" style of their music, too. I hope True Crime doesn't suck...

Don't worry, both probably will. I hold out a bit more hope for Halo: Reach not sucking, but only slightly.

[Explosion2]

Makes me want a PS3.

Come over to the dark side...

we have Uncharted 2...

and cookies...

[onidragon]

I expected Infinity Ward to win that, for sure.

Considering that they pretty much told PC gamers to go **** off and die, I would have been shocked if they won.

[Explosion2]

I voted for Naughty Dog. They care about their game.

[RockBandRocker]

How did Beatles: RB lose on soundtrack? :confused:

[jonoo24]

How did Beatles: RB lose on soundtrack? :confused:

Because there isn't much diversity. It's all one band, therefor extremely subjective. If one person hates the beatles, they won't buy the game. Because all it is is the beatles.

[Soratar]

Come over to the dark side...

we have Uncharted 2...

I once looked at a list for both consoles, I think it was actually on Wikipedia. There's a LOT more exclusives than you think. I don't even own a PS3 anymore and I could name more PS3 exclusives than I could Xbox exclusives.

I don't really like talking about exclusives because I can only come up with those that you listed off the top of my head. GoW and Halo are both overrated and they are both shooters. At least PS3 exclusives that come to mind are of variety.

[Explosion2]

yeah, that's what I was talking about when I said there was a lack of platformers on the Xbox list. While shooting games are fun, I also like to jump on some bad guys heads every once in a while.

[Sarge51]

I do like video games. :) I am just not impressed with the 360's exclusives, however I think games that are cross-platform have an advantage on the 360 most of the time. So it's kind of a balanced deal. Come to think of it I'd rather own a PS3 since I don't game too much online anymore. The PS3 has plenty of good single player games that I could get into. and then there's LBP and Fat Princess that I've been interested in, lately.

Just not much of a "shooters" kind of gamer anymore, and that's what the 360 mostly has, it seems.

yes, the Cross-platform games are generally more polished on the 360.

and I completely forgot about games like MotorStorm and Buzz!

even more variety for the list.

[Sarge51]

Now if only the backwards compatibility worked, we could add some Oddworld games on to the list. :) (For the 360, I mean.)

[Ezekiel17]

I'm kinda disappointed... there are better bands Harmonix could have chose to center the next Rock Band on.

[jonoo24]

Hey, Ps2 is 100$ now, want bc? Pay an extra 100

[monkeyfish]

I'm kinda disappointed... there are better bands Harmonix could have chose to center the next Rock Band on.

Well, this adds weight to the rumors of U2, Pearl Jam, the Who, Queen and the Doors RB games. If those come into fruition, and people still complain about there being better bands, then they deserve a light smack to the head.

[Rock_Starman]

Yet again the game of the year award goes to a game that previously lost it's own catagorey. I think they actually had consistency last year. Though I still remember the very first one where Madden won game of the year and lost sports game of the year.

[killer_roach]

Well, this adds weight to the rumors of U2, Pearl Jam, the Who, Queen and the Doors RB games. If those come into fruition, and people still complain about there being better bands, then they deserve a light smack to the head.

It seems like Harmonix is working even closer with music labels now. This is just one way that it manifests itself... it's something on the shelves for Harmonix, it's publicity for the band and the record label, and increases distribution possibilities (after all, a label might want the game stocked with the band's CDs...).

Not to mention, it will probably help secure more and more content as time goes on... the fact that bands and labels seem to be seeking HMX out is only a good thing.

[CyanFunk]

Couldn't give two ****s about Rock Band at this point, but the Force Unleashed 2 is very interesting to me
