SpikeTV Video Game Awards

SpikeTV is holding their Video Game Awards December 4!!!

check out www.spiketv.com and vote for your favorite games!!!

jujueye · 11-25-2003, 01:01 PM

Whoa...what a huge list. and good thing you can write in some favorites too...I got a little burnt out seeing the same ones over and over.......!

Good link. Thanks!

Lasereth · 11-25-2003, 02:34 PM

I usually participate in voting awards like these, but this is ridiculous. None of the games that should win for each category are listed, and most games are listed in the wrong categories. The write-ins help, but how many users are really gonna do a write-in instead of choosing one just to get to the next question?

I know this is supposed to be fun, but it really irks me when I see stuff like this. They should have at least got people that know a bit about the gaming industry to construct the voting system! Oh well, enough bitching for now.

RedCometChar · 11-25-2003, 10:52 PM

Most of the games on the list are good ones, but no category just for RPGs? Ended up writing in Viewtiful Joe for Best Action, and Donkey Kong for Best Classic.

Ganguro · 11-26-2003, 06:44 AM

it tapes here in vegas on the second of december at the MGM Grand Hotel. It should be interesting. My company is putting in some plasma screens and whatnot on set.. so i'll come back and post any info i gleam after it's done.

Cynthetiq · 11-26-2003, 07:10 AM

Ganguro · 11-26-2003, 03:40 PM

im psyched

happymaan · 12-01-2003, 06:04 PM

Is anyone going to the Spike TV Video Game Awards (VGA) tomorrow in Vegas? I just found out I'm gonna be there.

-happymaan

Batman976 · 12-01-2003, 06:18 PM

You just found out you're going to be there? How'd you pull that off? That's cool though. I'll probably watch them on TV, but I certainly won't be there.

happymaan · 12-01-2003, 06:43 PM

I'm shooting the event for a TV show I shoot.

Lasereth · 12-01-2003, 07:21 PM

I know the search function isn't working, but there's already a thread about these awards a page back or so. They didn't have enough games/the correct games listed in each category. Oh well!

-Lasereth

BuddyHawks · 12-04-2003, 06:49 PM

I watched about half of it and changed the channel...it sucked.

Ganguro · 12-04-2003, 06:53 PM

from the rehersal i saw on monday.. it looked sucktacular..
I;m somewhat mildly interested in seeing the finished product tonight. I guess they couldn't even give all the "free" tickets away on the radio this last week..

NeverBorn · 12-04-2003, 08:01 PM

Madden game of the year?! Its not even a real video game..its football for fat overweight people with no atheletic ability!!

offrapel · 12-04-2003, 09:21 PM

Well, I am taping it so I guess, with a lot of editing, I should be able to get a few good minutes and screen shots out of it.

messy · 12-05-2003, 06:32 AM

What a complete mess. If you aren't 12 years old with ADD, I don't see how you could stand that garbage for more than 15 minutes.

Too many flashing lights and loud noises. Why can't they just chill the fuck out?!

quest1mark · 12-05-2003, 07:26 AM

from what i saw last night on spike, it had porn stars, wrestlers, skaters, musicians, aspiring actors, and very little video games. im suprised this didnt come out sooner on that video game channel on cable tv.

HEY! I resemble THAT remark!

There's too many damn awards shows.

collide · 12-05-2003, 03:31 PM

Yeah, I realize that SpikeTV's demographics are mainly men, but watching the VGAs made me wonder if they're not taking that stereotype of what men want a bit too far. I would have watched more of it but a lot of it didn't have my kind of audience in mind. I seriously didn't snicker or giggle at the Lara Croft jokes. I mean, if the goal was to create the most offensive and distasteful programming as possible, they succeeded.

But then, the entire network is pretty backasswards if you ask me. /rant

vicx · 12-06-2003, 12:17 AM

This program was a pathetic attempt for SpikeTV to, sorry for the pun, spike their ratings. The female wrestling alone was probably the biggest draw from the network formerly known as the Nashville Network.

Lestat · 12-06-2003, 11:21 PM

Damn.. I missed it. I'm sure they'll replay it again.

mrquackers · 12-08-2003, 05:31 PM

Just watched my Tivo'd version... About the only redeeming thing I can think of was I saw some of my industry friends on TV for a moment or two.

CS733t · 12-08-2003, 05:34 PM

I think spikeTV is kinda lame...MXC is an awesome show, but that's about the only show I watch on spike.

Atomsk · 12-09-2003, 11:53 PM

good god that was a horrible list of winners. i think 2 out of all of them i actually thought were adequate. whats with those guys? where did they get this list of games? geez ;P

Azharen · 12-10-2003, 10:51 AM

This show was the worst. What happened to all the nominees? The winners were bogus. And HELLO!!!! there where like no GC tiltes!!! I don't wanna rant. I was just VERY dissappointed.

-Azh

BuddyHawks · 12-10-2003, 11:24 AM

THere should be the TFP video game awards. I'm not sure how it would be organized, maybe polls for each catagory?

I just know I don't want to set it up.

yer just biased with your system

besides you know it's just so that they have a good demographic to pander to in the future... it's all about the adverts

Atomsk · 12-10-2003, 02:09 PM

while i'm sure bias has something to do with it that still doesn't really excuse a complete absence of a platform. sony and microsoft prolly paid for the whole damn show anyway so its not a surprise that other systems didn't make the cut

Baldrick · 12-10-2003, 04:17 PM

Bah! I watched about ten minutes of that garbage, and felt like it was a two hour MTV commercial... Ridiculous.

wondash · 12-26-2003, 05:40 AM

Driving home from our Christmas day festivities yesterday, I passed a billboard advertising the video game awards. I had never heard anything about them, and was pissed to see that I missed it. After reading this thread, I guess I didn't miss a thing!

Yeah I agreed with you then and agree with you 80 times more after seeing the show. Def Jam : Vendetta winning game of the year? Uhm...Hello? Rigged! Stupid assholes shouldn't be allowed to even advertise games on thier channel ever again.
