Does anyone else find it strange that Assassins Creed beats Uncharted on best Action Adventure game, but, but loses to it on GOTY? That seems very inconsistent...

Overall it was a decent show, though I would have much prefered to just see the premieres and cut out all of the fluff. Does anyone really enjoy seeing Jack Black stage an award acceptance?

Highlight of it was probably Batman and Star Wars, since those are the only games shown that I can see myself buying. Other than that there was the nice Split Second commercials and the Spec Ops The Line trailers which seemed pretty cool.

It did, and rightly so.

The ODST score was too uneven in terms of quality imo. About 70% was generic guitar riffs with drums. The other 30% consisting of the awesome, moody over world music.

If Spike ever want to be taken seriously, they need to stop with this.

After watching this last night from 2 AM to 4 AM I've been thinking, and I've reached a conclusion.

If this is the way people see videogames, "we're not going anywhere".
Or maybe it's just that it was my first time watching American television. crazy, crazy stuff.

Yeah I don't think Spike cares to be honest. The actual award part well I don't know who that's aimed at, at least we get some cool announcements/trailers out of it. It never has been nor will it ever be a serious awards show.

What? Really? That was awful...

Snuggler gave some much better examples.

I didn't even have ODST, just listened the OST and I love this track. Uncharted 2 score was great too. Honestly I think that they both deserved the award, a choice had to be made...

It's a two hour commercial, top to bottom. But so are the MTV Movie Awards and those have done okay.

This just confirms my belief that awards are meaningless and people are generally idiots.

i totally understand it. thats because uncharted 2 had an edge with MP. they had a huge sp experience and a whole new mp conponent that couldve easily been a whole seperate game in itself. i think if ac2 had good mp or co-op, it couldve easily been GOTY. but i get what you're saying though

Agreed 100% with everything you said. The show was average if not mediocre. I never really enjoy Spike's award show anyway. They cater strictly to the American side of the games industry and gives NO love to Japan. Best RPG goes to Dragon Age over Bowser's Inside Story??? Borderlands gets nominated for best RPG??? GTFO Spike. You fail.

Also, someone nuke Jack Black already. Seriously Spike...the man is not funny. At all.

I soooooo wish there was an annual Japanese videogame awards show :(

Someone needs to get a GIF of that woman actually choking, right at the start, when one of the guys with a smoke machine holds it in her face.

So hilarious.
