personal choices on this one

[editline]10th December 2010[/editline]

[QUOTE=doom65;26609286]why is this in the Movie/TV Show Sub Fourm[/QUOTE]

because it televised and it isnt a game...its just related to them

[Doomish]

all video game awards are useless popularity contests and games that do not deserve to win in their categories almost always do because they are more recognizable than the competition

[OutOfExile2]

Like the only games I've played are Super Meat Boy, ME2, and New Vegas.
Super Meat Boy was awesome, ME2 was ok but a bit disappointing, and I couldn't bare playing New Vegas for more than like 2 hours because it felt so buggy.

[Doomish]

pfffhahahaha they think heavy rain has even remotely good graphics ahahaha oh god i need a moment

Yeah well minecraft isn't techincally "released" yet. Your post is VOID!

[Waffen]

anyways does anybody know what channel this will be on in the UK tomorrow? or if anybody will be streaming it live?

[Doomish]

[QUOTE=bepassley;26609470]Yeah well minecraft isn't techincally "released" yet. Your post is VOID![/QUOTE]

This. Minecraft isn't actually final in its gameplay so it's not a contender, though I'd probably vote for Super Meat Boy anyway in all honesty if it was.

[Waffen]

i aint gonna lie here i played the trial for limbo and thought it was fucking terrible and i just haven't bothered with super meat boy

[dirty_ape]

RDR or ME2 better win goty.

[gbtygfvyg]

If Super Meat Boy doesn't win Best Independent than this is complete bullshit.

[FrankWell]

Mass Effect 2 should get Best Original Score.

[darcy010]

I just know Kirby's Epic Yarn is going to win best graphics.
The judges don't go for realism, they go for uniqueness.

[Hamushka11]

No GT5 for best racing?

[kevlar jens]

If Black Ops wins GOTY I'm gonna punch a kitten.

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

I remember last year when Megan Fox won the award for best female performance in a video game. Jesus christ.

[Haxxer]

Mass Effect has to win :v:

[johny mcmill]

Super Meat Boy is like 800 times better than Limbo.

[Scot]

Err, wrong section? Well maybe just for me since it isn't on TV anywhere but the US. Would be more fitting in the games section.

Anyway, going by the comments on the nominations, Halo and CoD will win every category they are in. Like every year those games are nominated.

I, of course, disagree with all of them. Apart from NFS: Hot Pursuit and Limbo. Even though Super Meat Boy is better than Limbo.

Came out a bit late.

[Mio Akiyama]

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World better win for best Downloadable game

Are you shitting me?

Also, they motion captured EVERYTHING. It's the most realistic game I've ever played.

[editline]11th December 2010[/editline]

Also, Heavy Rain should be nominated for best score. They pretty much have a soundtrack the length of the game, all recorded with a full orchestra.

[markfu]

I only want to watch this for Uncharted 3 and the Bioware reveal
