[Biojex]

HALO REACH BABY!!!

All those Spartans makes Master Chief look like Nick Cage! But it doesn't matter , cuz Master Chief is the shat no matter what!!!
I can't wait for this game!!!!

I loved the armor with the skull painted on his mask!!

dangit i missed that too!! shoot.. now i must scour the internet for the video.

They should have had Stevie Wonder present the award for Best Graphics instead of best music game.

That would have been so awesome.

 

[Valfar]

WTF!! Left 2 Dead 2 Best Xbox 360 game???? That game is a piece of shat!

I couldn't agree more.

 

[THX-182]

What was shown on the Force Unleashed 2 trailer?

It was the Apprentice from the first game walking down a hallway with Yoda and Vader both saying things to him. The hallway was being destroyed behind him apparently by his force powers. He then enters an arena where a rancor flies through the sky, the apparent victim of a huge beast that the apprentice attacks.

I don't give it enough credit but that is the jist of it.

Congrats to Uncharted 2 for winning VGA Game of the Year. I think it deserves the award.

For anyone that missed it (or didn't want to sit through the show), here's the Halo: Reach trailer:

Strange that it won best game, but lost the "best action/adventure game" award. But no matter, it really deserved best game, so I'm happy for Naughty Dog.

 

[Biojex]

thanks plasmid!

Thanks THX. Hopefully they fix alot of the glitches and the aiming on this one.

Uncharted 2 is the GOTY. HELLLL YEAH! :chew

As big as a COD fan that I am, in a very strange way, I'm glad that COD didn't win.

 

[Solidus]

I couldn't agree more.

It's a good PC game.

 

[plasmid303]

I didn't mind if game X won an award over game Y, but I found it a travesty that Jack Black won the best voice actor award over Mark Hamill or Nolan North.

Nah...I disagree.....he did a pretty good job with Brutal Legend....he really gave life to the character!

 

[plasmid303]

Nah...I disagree.....he did a pretty good job with Brutal Legend....he really gave life to the character!

Yeah, he did good in Brutal Legend, but better than Hamill's Joker or Nolan North's Nathan Drake? These guys have been in the business for years, honing their craft in roles that have received acclaim...and Jack Black (who hosted and pimped his game on last year's VGAs, mind you) rolls up out of nowhere and picks up the Best Voice Actor award? Spike has such an obvious tilt towards Black that it's almost insulting to those in the know.

And the fact that they gave the Best Female Voice Actor to MEGAN FOX over Tricia Helfer (Dare, Halo ODST) or Kristen Bell (Lucy, Assassin's Creed II) just takes the cake.

Spike wants the mainstream attention. Why bring on stage a smaller name voice actor to accept an award when you can have Jack Black act like an idiot? Funny.

I see what ur saying......I guess they did it for the rating!

 

[THX-182]

I think a lot of these awards were rigged.

Doesn't matter. It's just one of many game award shindigs that happen every year. Websites and magazines will do it as well so it isn't like Spike's is the final word and the 100% official best of the best. Certainly doesn't represent the majority of the world's opinion. Just one place's opinion.

I'm all for Uncharted 2, but Killzone 2's graphics are the best I've ever seen to date.
