I'll be watching.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Time to return to an old friend to school us on the best games of the year

Which apparently, aren't Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Starcraft II.
Perhaps because it doesn't appeal to there demographic.

 

[terry78]

Yeah, I noticed a lack of Nintendo.

 

[Crockett]

Just wondering, is there a site where you can watch the VGA's online?

I think it gets streamed through gametrailers.
Or at least a link that takes you to the site, as both are spike owned.

A few weeks ago Geoff Keighley said that they were taking the 2010 version of the show in a "bold new direction" or something like that. Hopefully that means it won't be as gaudy as previous years.

 

[socool]

I don't even watch the VGA's. Might this year cuz of all the awesomeness

 

[Benstamania]

I'll watch, but if Black Ops wins I will protest!

....To the fridge! But I'll complain all the way there.

If Black Ops has to win anything, I hope it's Sgt. Woods for best character. Loved him so much.

 

[Benstamania]

I'll be honest, I think Black Ops had a fun campaign, easily the best since 3... but like most CoD's since 3 the over all package was a let down for me...

I don't understand why Black Op's is up there beyond popularity.
SP was only 6 hours long with practically nothing in the gameplay changed from 2003 and the MP looks like an Xbox360 launch title. Lots of rage.

I just went back to MP yesterday and I don't see the "rage" for the graphics. In fact you and one or two others are the only ones I know who complain about the graphics. Are the mind-blowing? No. Are they bad? No.

As for campaign; the story was the best yet. I was constantly involved in it because of the twists. Sure it was very supernatural but I think CoD needs something different.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I'm going to watch this one on account of the ME3 teaser.

 

[socool]

I'm going to watch this one on account of the ME3 teaser.

That, Arkham City and Uncharted 3 are my main reasons.

Any new game reveals are second.

Then NPH hosting

Then the actual awards

You really shouldn't put much thought into it. The awards portion of this "awards show" are a joke and largely meaningless. The whole thing is essentially a big commercial. I forget which year it was, but literally after every game was shown there was like a 30 second "Buy at GameStop!" "Preorder at GameStop!" ad.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'll be watching.

I hope we get some surprise announcements/trailers. Elder Scrolls 5 possibly?

 

[Crockett]

Oh there will be quite a few game reveals. The one I'm looking forward to the most is Bioware's and the game that THQ is collaborating with Guillermo del Toro.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Halo and Call of Duty getting nominated over Nintendo's work is a load of crap.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

That's the Lovecraft one right?

 

[The Guardian]

I voted for GoW III, but I think Red Dead might take it and I wouldn't mind at all, it's awesome and one of the best games I've played!!! It's gonna be a fun night tonight,up: I'm looking forward to Uncharted III, Resistance III, inFAMOUS II, and a few others!!!

 

[Crockett]

Yep, oh and the thread is here.

[Wolfwood]

Given the choices, I'm pulling for Red Dead or Mass Effect

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

I´ll be trying to watch it on the site, as i´m not fom the US, and it´s only because of the announcements.
As for the GOTY, is either Mass Effect 2 or Red Dead Redemption, those are the one that trully deserve it.

As for the announcements, we know that they are 12 (they were 13 until the all Gears fiasco), and we already know of:

- Batman: Arkham City
- Resistance 3
- Uncharted 3
- Portal 2
- Thor
- Bioware´s new game (probably Mass Effect 3)
- Prototype 2
- THQ / Guillermo del Toro
- A snowy trailer that say "take on the planet", which many are saying might be Half-Life 3 (please........)

That leaves us with 3 unannounced ones, so, what can they be?
I´m expecting the new Tomb Raider to be one

 

[Crockett]

On the teaser that focused on the mountains, please let it be SSX.
