Wow, I'm bit surprised at the Game of the Year contenders. Batman? Left 4 Dead 2? Assassin's Creed 2? Surely you can't be serious?

Do they know there was a whole other half of the year? inFamous? Street Fighter IV? Resident Evil 5? All of those are certainly worth some "honourable mention", especially RE5 as a candidate for Best Action/Adventure or Best Shooter. inFamous should easily be in there for Best Action/Adventure.

A pity that Killzone 2 is not in best multiplayer. Anyways, I wouldnt be surprised if Activision sticks some money in there to make COD GOTY. Still, I hope the announcements for incoming games are great. And please let it be Battlefront 3.

If MW2 beats Uncharted or Batman for GOTY...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

also I would have put Dragon Age or InFamous in place of L4D2, I know some here have not played it, but little to say, I was thoroughly dissapointed.

They dont provide honourable mentions. If they did, I'm sure many of them will be up there, but there are obvious reasons for them not being there. RE5 was not well recieved by critics or gamers in general, meaning it wasn't good as games are for gamers. I loved it, but it's all opinion. And "Do they know there was a whole other half of the year?" - they can't have EVERY game up for the award. They have to choose and everything in your post is pretty much opinions, but also, so is the VGA's. Don't take it too serious,

I hope everyone here's just watching for the announcements.

Scianix-Black

Why?

Well.. these awards are kind of a joke.

A lot of them are.. popular vote doesn't mean much.

It means everything. What else would it be based on? And it gives you a sense of your statistical likelihood to enjoy a game.

To me.

Sorry, should've added that after the last part.

Besides, the games have already been out for a while... and even if I didn't own one of them, I wouldn't base whether or not I would enjoy it on its winning an award.

I'm probably just being a negative nancy.

I like watching them for the previews, but the awards are nice because although they don't mean loads, it's nice to see the guys in the industry get some proper recognition for their work.

Nobodys being an idiot, just different opinions on the show ^^ I can see why people don't like it. I mean, Halo 3: ODST is up there. JUST UP THERE is a joke, but BEST XBOX GAME? Seriously?

Ssso.... you think everyone should ignore the VGAs and only watch them for the announcements because they don't mean much to you? Should we also base our TV viewing based on what shows you think are good? :P And the obvious implication of what I said is that it gives you the probability that you'd like the game, which can help inform your decision if you haven't bought the game yet. I mean, it's useful to know what the chances are you'd like a game before you buy it.

Is Halo Reach another FPS?

And what's the connection between ODST and 3?

And when are they going to make that Halo movie?

Sure, seriously. So many 360 owners and analysts have said that this year has been really devoid of great 360-exclusives.
