2005 Spike TV VGAs

[AndrewTS]

Considering sites are plastering the GotY winner everywhere, it's not that big to spoil. It's not like it matters much.

 

The Madden drones have spoken--no big surprise there.

 

I bet the RE4 nod was intended for the PS2 version.

 

Katamari got best original score.

 

Most of the rest are silly. Games are winning that aren't even out yet.

It's weird how they spend so much focus on voice acting and cast. Like half the catogories are related to the production values.

 

I hate how random the genres are. Two different sports catagories, "military games" and fps/action...

 

What exactly is a "cyber vixon"? Where is the male equivlent?

[Use Your Illusion]

As trivial an accomplishment as it is from SpikeTV, RE4 deserves that.

[Scroby]

King Kong winning any award just blows my mind right there.

[EricMM]

Like I'm not even kidding about the payola regarding games that aren't even out yet...

[LaParkaMarka]

Yeah this sucks. Indigo Prophecy = GOTY

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Are you insane, or did you not play it all the way through? The game competely fell apart by the end, with a story so ridiculous and blatantly ripped off of the Matrix that I wanted to puke. The worst part is that it was actually very good until the story took a turn for the stupid. Besides, the gameplay was marred by those terrible stealth child sequences.

[Anya]

Indigo Prophecy was still really good. If the rest had been like the first half it'd be one of my favorites.

 

 

My favorite game this year isn't even new. I think I've had the most fun with Soul Calibur II the past few weeks.
