/rant on Spike TV Video Game Awards

Am I the only one that thinks they are ridiculous? All of the game of the year nominees are Xbox/ PC exclusive. How can you possibly leave out super mario galaxy? This is one of the highest rated games ever, and reviewed better overall more than any other game on their list. I like my 360...I play it the most out of the 3 next gen consoles. Its just annoying to see the fact that they are overlooking a great title like galaxy. From what I've seen in the past their VGA's are a joke.

True. But spike TV is marketed for teenage to young adult men. Not families, girls or the elderly. I'm not trying to offend, thats just how spike is, guns, violence and all the m-rated for a reason. Super mario galaxy is an amazing game and is being over looked every where./rant on Spike TV Video Game Awards
what i really dislike about spike is game head. while the interviews and news are nice, they are so freaking biased. i can't believe how every game i've seen reviewed or talked about in the show gets a good review. it's bs.
Spike TV is just... bad. Don't use it.
I remember a few years ago when one of the WWE Smackdown games won ''Best Sports Game'' or something like that. From that moment on, I knew the VGA's were a joke.

I figured Spike TV's VGA's were a joke since they announced it. It's comedy who they announce what celebrities are showing up, because 80% of them are not the type to be associated with the gaming industry at all. Like that couple from ''The Hills''... WTF? Isn't that show just about socialites who go party at exclusive clubs? lol



The VGA's can be entertaining in the sense of watching celebrities make a fool out of themselves trying to talk up a video game they probably never heard of before the award show. But the industry is growing in a huge way, so of course, there will be big entertainment companies that want to ride the coat tails of the gaming industry... It's all about the money.
They are a horrible example of gaming journalism.

[/QUOTE]Personally I dont think games that are released 2 months tell the end of the year deserve awards (dont get me wrong SMG is a amazing game,but imgaine if oh say the 0-12 miami dolphins made it to the superbowl).Releasing a game 2 months before the year ends doesnt give alot of people the time to enjoy the game and decide if its actually goty material compared to other games.
I see Spike's Video Game Awards the same way I view MTV's Video Awards: I ignore them because in my eyes they are not legitimate and seem to trivialize video games and pop music. Video games and pop music deserve better recognizion and respect than these two award shows.

a good game is a good game regardless of how close it is released to the end of the year. you don't need 4 months to know a game is crap or great.
Hey, at least they had some topless chicks. That counts for something, right?:P
