Thoughts?

I thought most of the awards were decent. Skyrim was inevitably going to win game of the year lol *rolls eyes* Im happy with Joker and Arkum Asylum winning :) Only thing I wasn't keen on was Portal 2 winning best MP and PC game, but meh.

The only surprise for me is Portal 2 winning multiplayer game - not surprised that it won the PC game award though.

I missed it this year too :( I used to catch it every year but the past 2 years, haven't been able to watch.

I wanted minecraft to win best pc game : (

But mostly Im not surprised to the things here.
That skyrim was going to win wasnt that surprising.

Sadly I cant watch at spike awards here.

The new games wasnt that bad however I think that the trailers were to short.

I hear Portal 2 co-op was really fun, but I never tried it. Not really a big fan… but either way Im surprised as well. Especially with all of the other co-op games that came out this year.

I never actually watch the awards, just read the results.

It won best Independent game though :)


Anyone know how they pick the winners? I assume it’s based on sales, but Im not sure.

All the ones I agree with. Best MP for portal 2 is just a stretch, that's a bunch of crap. Glad to see my boy ray rice as Digital Cover Athlete. Also really glad to see MW3 as best shooter :).

[Kenoi]

man! I really gotta get that Forza 4 game. I have gran turismo 5, and I play it a lot, its just that my 360 dont have no driving game! so I hear its pretty good, I gotta get it!

[Optic232]

Gran Turismo is better then that Froza 4 game.

[eastkeys]

YES! You´re right.

[paecmaker]

Now when I look at it I am disapointed that The Witcher 2 wasnt anywhere, one of the best rpg games that came out last year.

[AkandMikeDN]

could say the same.
i found all the choices correct :)
