[Jaggy]

God, that's seriously bullshit. Best handheld game Splinter Cell? Give me a fucking break.

[Swordmasterdragoon]

oh and when they did the thing for the handheld and it was splinter cell they used the XBOX movie trailer thingy

[Ghosty]

Well out of their choices I generally agreed to a few (where did you get these from anyhow?), but I lowered the score based on the fact that some decisions they made were SO bad, and also a lot of the line-ups were bad so... they got 0% ;D

Enter the Matrix, best game based on a movie wtf?
Wasn't that generally regarded as a dissappointment?

WWE smackdown for best fighting game?!

Nascar is best driver!!?

Oh well, i don't really care that much... just a little poll, I am secure in my video game preferences!!

[Luca]

lol I cant believe they actually showed that on TV, it was ridiculous...

[Sektor]

What the Fuck? How does Madden NFL win game of the year? Whoever chose these games is a complete dumbass. Star wars being more fantasy than FFXI and ZELDA?!? YEAH RIGHT! Halo for pc topping War3 TFT? I dont think so

[Knight of Lodis]

I am sorry but those are the worst nominations and winners I have ever seen. It appears that winners were fan based than actually game based. I am glad I missed that show because this is so stupid. They gave games that just came out 2 weeks ago awards. How the hell do you know FFXI is the best mmorpg when it hasn't been out a month? I also think that whoever nominated games for most addicitive should be shot. I do not even think Soul Calibur II should be up for the award. The people that did this award show should be fired for their stupidity. How about we just let game magazines and sites nominate games and have real people vote next time?

The ONLY award that has any sense is #16.

[Swordmasterdragoon]

Yeah those are horrible games but you gotta remember that this was on tv so there were millions of fanboys that voted. and KOTOR wasn't based on a movie, was it? isn't you make a jedi/sith and run around gaining levels, etc.....

[Vapour]

[glow=navy,2,300]Based on their nominations, only 1 I picked was the winner, and with that it was game of the year and their nominations sucked for that. The Handheld game is complete bullshit, and the rest might as well be called "the third party VG Awards".
[/glow]

[Magicman]

Spike TV's VGAs

Translation:

Spike TV's Vasectomised Generic Assholes

[Ghosty]

Ahahaha, that was on Spike TV? "The men's channel" or w/e the f*** they like to call themselves, what a joke awards.... did the winners even have some sortof representative? Like the audio assisstant's son or something? ;D ;D

Well, if you're talking to me, i just transferred info from an AOL Members only exclusive thing.

I was about to shoot the screen when i saw this. This is the biggest fanboy thing in the world. Game of the year Madden NFL 2004? Holy crap this is stupid.

[Creed]

oh man, this list is bullshit. i mean, it has been a pretty slow year in terms of ground breaking games but their picks are just pitiful. i mean, how the hell did splinter cell get picked for best handheld?

[Ghosty]

Well I was just talking to anyone, I wasn't sure where you got the list and stuff.

How did nominations get chosen? and how was the winner picked? Was it like the producers/whoever chose the nominees, and then people called in to vote or something?

[Vapour]

[glow=navy,2,300]Spike TV had a bunch of Nominees and then it got downgraded to 3 per category (probably by the producers). Then they had a show about 2 weeks before the Awards and after that you could go on the internet and vote.[/glow]
