I'm convinced COD is only nominated for stuff because it's COD. I really think Battlefield should win Best Multiplayer.

Are they streaming it online this year?

Jeremy Lindstrom

Was wondering about no Assassin's Creed II love, but I guess it was Nov 2009.

Depends on your definition of "they".

PixelMasher

Ill be tuning in to see the uncharted 3 stuff, should hopefully make me jizz my pants. arkham city too now that I think of it. th awards are usually such bullshit, like because it sold a billion copies RDR and COD will probably clean house.

I sure hope ghost of sparta gets the best handheld, playing through it right now and its fucking amazing.

XenoKratios

I wish I had my PSP ...

But it's on tonight on SPIKE, so you might want to check their website to see if they will stream it.

NPH is probably gonna rock it, he is a magician after all.. lol

skylebones

Man, who chose best driving game? No Forza 3, Grand turismo 5, Dirt 2? Rigged I say.

I don't think they were released when this was announced, although if it's live tonight, thats just bullshit.

Skamberin

No Metro 2033 on best graphics? Really? Why? That game fucking crushes anything else on that list visually, heck it's not even mentioned in any category. That's pretty retarded, but expected.

Oh well, may the best western/japanese game win.

oobersli

watching paint dry brings more entertainment. Awards shows in general are stupid, VGA is a pain to watch. And why is red dead not on best 360 game and only ps3??

Who votes on this stuff and how in the hell do you decide best studio? No offense to all the guys/gals who work at the nominated places, I'm sure they're great places to work, but do they actually run some one through each studio and see how many high fives they get or get to take a studio director out on a date and see what base they can get to?

I tried to get into the VGA's last year, i felt like a retard for watching an hour of commercials and publishers getting woodys for getting their products advertised under the disguise of an "awards show".

XenoKratios

The only reason I'm watching it is the new announcements, new gameplay and to hear what the game designers and all those cool guys have to say.

Also NPH and Olivia Munn (Olivia is... yeah)

Just watched the intro, it was sooo bad ahahaha, and no one is laughing at NPH's jokes but me.. lol

Ofcourse they play Black Ops first... over rated much? maybe? yes....

I will keep you posted.


EDIT:
OH MY LAWD,

They just showed the new Batman game, amazingggggg trailer, wow! And it started with like life size batman characters on the stage.

XenoKratios

WOOO Canadians win first prize!! HELL YEAH! Speech could have been less generic lol..

Striff

I went to this as press last year...looks like they upped the production quality a little bit. Kinda weird to host it in the LA Convention Center.

Still super super cheesy

MattQ86

Man, I've never seen anybody bomb as hard as Dane Cook just did. The entire building was so silent I thought I had it on mute.

XenoKratios

Oh my the Canadians win another award! Go CANADA!

The crowd is sooo mellow! I mean even after a speech it seems like only 30 people are cheering..

Edit: Ofcourse the ARMY has a plug in here...

eld

Im guessing most of the crowd are hired actors, with a few super star game developers, and some strippers.

Entity

Whats this I hear about Munn's boob almost popping out..
