Bulletproof and King Kong aren't even out yet, in case this complaint hasn't been voiced enough.
I like how half the awards are given for having a famous name say a few lines.
'Performance' My ass. Where the hell are the 'best world art' awards, or 'Most bug free' awards?

Well, this awards show is still a joke, but I'm glad it wasn't the travesty I feared. Most of the winners are great games. Of course, with the exception of the games that aren't out yet, so who knows.

These are a lot better then I expected, with, wait for it, the exception of the titles not released.
From what I hear though, True Crime: Streets of New York (or Manhatten I guess), is complete ass. I have yet to play it though, so I shall reserve judgement, Christopher Walken might be the best thing about that game though.

Those guys seem to make up the winning categories as they go along for every year.
Cyber vixen of the year? Best game based on a movie? Most addictive game?
WHAT THE FUCK?

This is Evil Avatar, we live to complain. Fuck I complain about the editors all day, what makes this site great.
And here's another punch in the face to voice actors, amazing voice work completely overlooked for famous people needing more shit on their mantles.

Editors: I wouldn't mind if you never posted about TV video game "awards" ever again. Let's pretend that something so impossibly lame and stupid doesn't exist, maybe it will go away. I'm surprised Spike TV itself didn't win the "McDonald's Most Awesome TV Station to Watch Video Game Commercials Award".

I'd love to see a real developer get up there and slam the shit out of it...Oh wait, it isn't live. Guess I'll never see that.
And for people who think it's OK because most of the winners are good games, you are missing the point when people complain about this joke of an awards show.

WHERES F.E.A.R or Call of Duty 2 in the gfx section eh?

Resident Evil 4, despite its problems, is an amazing feat. It's a fantastic game. Hell, it deserves the Best Graphics award. F.E.A.R. probably wasn't in contention because of how recently it was released. ;)
I'm genuinely pleased to see it get recognition, even if it is by a piece of shit award show that no one really gives a damn about.

So we have World of Warcraft, which came out last year. Then we have King Kong and Bullet Proof, one of which will be shit and neither of which have come out yet.
Add that to lame corporate shilling like "Fueled by Mt. Dew" and you have yet another overly commercialized POS TV program. Welcome to one of the main reasons for why I don't pay for cable!

This is insane. Almost every site says this show sucks, but then we ALL report on it.
It's like SPAM. There wouldn't be any if people didn't answer to them.

It doesn't do fabulously in the ratings either. I don't get one thing - how much harder would it be to do these right? Hell, they could get a few people from this wesite to do it right for less than whatever the hacks they did use charged.
