Wow did this blow.
I mean, only like 3 seconds of the whole program were actually devoted to video games.
I mean, they had live apearances by david spade - who announced a couple award winners...yes, no nomonee's(sp?)...just the winners.
Lil' kim...who i'm quite sure has never touched a video game in her life.
did I mention no nomonee's(sp?)...When have you EVER seen an award show that didn't show who was eligable for the award!?!?!
They awarded best animation in a game to "DOA: Extreme beach vollyball" which pardon me, WAS THE DUMBEST GAME EVER!. I mean, I didn't mind the T&A shots, but gimmie a break, the game really blew hardcore. But besides that, many other games had much better animation. But I guess this is Spike tv, and they just assume that this is "television for guys" that all we'd care about in games are violence, and nudity.
They voted most addictive game of the year to "Soul Caliber 2"....right...I don't see to many people (losing their jobs, dropping out of school, commiting suicide, or getting divorced) over @#%$ Soul Caliber 2. Great game, but as far as addictivness...Everquest bends soul caliber 2 over a counter and busts a die in it's face.
They actually had a catigory that was "best in game voice played by a human"....yeah, that one went to Grand theft auto III.
Ok...so lets screw over all the people who put countless hours into programing, testing, and designing GTA III, only to give an award to the guy who did the least amount of work in the video game. I guess it's ok though, cause they actually let him come out, and give credit to the company for creating the game in the first place.
Lets not forget the wrestling match in the middle of the show announced by jenna jameson. Some people like wrestling, but to me...it seems vaguely the same.
My main beef with the show is that they didn't even remotely try to award the people who work on games. If they really wanted to put on a good show, they would have people announce the nomonees for each category, then bring up like the producer, and lead designers of the game to accept the awards.
Hell, the closest thing I saw to someone's name, was in a small window that was crammed into the bottom of the screen. At least let them get up there, and give credit to those that worked on it...don't just have a bunch of moron's throwing confetti all over the table that won, and zip back up on stage.
...worst award ceremony ever!
