Spike TV VGA = CRAP
rustybag | 7:52 AM on 12.12.2007 6 comments


Or as I like to call it EA/MTV/Verizon One Huge Commercial Show. I can’t help to think advertisers are not influencing any winners-but I just know… Don't hate the players hate the game.

1st off what's up with that award? It seems the Vector Monkey is having hard times with the smoking... a smoking monkey, not original... and red? The gold of plated vector money of years past was way better looking! Only surprise moment that I was actually excited to see where Big Black dropped the hammer to give huge props to EA Skate over Neversoft.

Damn can't help to smile when Tila Tequila winks at the camera- cause I pretend to think she loves me... Heres a Tila threesome Wii- PS3- 360.
Best Xbox 360 Game? Best PS3 Game? Best Wii game? They had to give at least one award to each system. I thought its funny they gave the Breakthrough Technology award The Orange Box- that’s huge props to a great game and a testament how good the engines are to a slew of games that uses the 3 year old Havok and Steam engine. I was excited about the studio award. Until I saw Harmonix. Isn't MTv in bed with Spike, I mean they are both owned by Viacom right?? Not that I'm choppin Harmonixs glory... It just seems interesting to me how it made a great segway for the bullgod- Kid rock to rip it up out on the mic.

I should mention the world premieres were not anything special... I was not terribly excited about the New Rainbow 6 Vegas 2- but of course they never show any damn game play footage... I mean I think they even had some lame live action crap at the beginning. Besides how many times is Vegas going to be under siege here.
Borderlands- looks promising or at least I'm a sucker for hype... Trust me I'm all about hype. I was the first to buy Kane and Lynch. Hey Patton Oswald DON’T make fun of gamers on a gamer awards show, and trust me your still gay. Also what's up with the most addicting game award? Is that really a good award to win? I guess its good because it’s more of a gamer’s choice award since it was the only award where fans could vote for.

One saving grace of the VGAs was a chance to see the Video Games Live Orchestra playing. I saw them 2 years ago in Boston and it was awesome! If you’re a big fan of da music and of course video games it’s a great show to check out. A pretty good date thing to do. Especially good to impress the ladies as they think you’re cultured by bringing them to a live orchestral event but its cool because you actually will know what the song is about.

Bioshock grabbed the vide game of the year award- I cannot disagree with this one Bioshock is 1 of the best gaming experience I've had is a long time. And I recommend it to anyone looking for a great game to play. Although Half-Life 2 episode 2 truly fantastical!
Seeing actual game play footage of Little Big Planet might actually make me buy a PS3... Maybe. It was by far the best world premier cause it showed pretty much all game play footage. Although Prototype got me warm and burny

Finally what up with the King of Kong? Is he that good he can just break his record every time he wants? To me that would require some kind of prep work.

Anyway Spike Video Game Awards are pretty crappy… too much advertising. I couldn’t help to think that they just wanted to me to buy shit. Oh well I guess I’ll just have to wait for G-phoria.

PS That Gamecock stunt was stupid. Talk about a cock block.

The Gamecock stunt was pretty stupid. I'm really glad they apologized for that shit.

Funny how I agree for once with someone; Spike VGA awards are not a credible source to me. The other big factor is, well, the show sucks.

The VGAS is an abyssmal show. It's just fucking terrible. I can agree with the award choices, who won didn't really bother me. Although Mario Galaxy should have been in the game of the year category. It's everything else about the show that is terrible. The whole damn thing is just one big insult to my intelligence.
