Spike TV Video Game Award Winners
Gamespot reports on the results from Friday's Spike TV Video Game Awards. Top Game honor went to RE4, while King Kong and World of Warcraft both took home several category nods. From the article: "As much as Spike might have refined the show over its past pair of efforts, it was clear the network had not yet found a way to perfectly merge the subject matter, the celebrities, and the audience. Nowhere was evidence of this more pronounced than in the significant number of audience members heading for the exits right after Missy Elliott's climactic performance, having seen all they came for and not caring to find out who was going to take home the Game of the Year award. Winners for Best Gaming Publication, Best Gaming Website, and Best Gaming Blog were not announced at the show. "
I still don't know why I should believe these awards, there are just too many unanswered questions. Other than the awards that the viewers voted on, who decided who won what? And for that matter, who decided what went into each category? Why are there nominations for games that aren't even out yet? Good thing Rare started making Perfect Dark discs early, or else an unfinished game would have been in the running for 'Best First-person Action'.
Rediculous!
