Re: Spike TV's Video Game Awards
Worst video game awards ever.
THUG winning best sports and DOA winning best animation are very odd, and I like to think people cant be that stupid. THUG gets best sports and not madden, even though madden got GOTY. Odd how they had that Tony Hawk Book Boom Huckjam right after THUG won the award, or the DOA girls were on moments before DOA:XBV won bst animation, or the two WWE matches right after Smackdown won best sports title...It was one big 2 hour commercial. For wrestling, for xbox, for PS2, for Tony Hawk.
ETM better than LOTR? (why even have this category?)
Smackdown better than SCII or VF4:Evo?
DOAX and not a whole lot of other games?
Madden and not a whole lot of other games?
I think one of the worst awards they gave was Best Hanheld Game to splinter cell. My god. Advance Wars 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Super Mario Advance 4, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (the best handheld game this year), Fire Emblem, Castlevania. There are tons more even that are better than splinter cell.
The one factor I noticed is that all the winners seem to have large advertising time on spike TV (though Nintendo also advertises on spike, that doesnt seem to be enough to buy them an award, or even an award for a game exclusive to gamecube).
Ray Liotta best voice for GTA:VC? The game that came out last year? Typically you dont consider a game for an award show when its just a port of a game that came out a year earlier. Another instance of this: Halo best PC game. Geeze! Ever hear of a game called Call of Duty?
I can see right through this show. Voted on by fans? Ill hold my breath.
