Bullshit.
Bad Company 2 should have won best sound design, it didn't even get nominated.. NOWHERE.
They nominated FUCKING MARIO for game of the year.
Red Dead got way to many awards
Forge 2.0 is just a map creator i've seen that soo many times.
Best controls to black ops wtf?
STARCRAFT HAS THE BEST MULTYPLAYER.
Im raging so bad.
Let's just hope the VGA's will be better.
thanks for the update, I agree Bad company 2 was missing entirely from those awards
ReplyDeleteminecraft?? really?? ok, i definitely need to try this game
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does it seem like the Machinima staff didn’t have very many games to play? I will agree Red Dead was a great game, however, that many awards? Well, if you say so Machinima. Also, I personally would have given best indie games to Amnesia: The Dark Descent, that game shook me to the core. Another dispute of mine, Minecraft most original game? Wasn’t it based off of Dwarf Fortress and Infiniminer?
ReplyDeleteSeems a little biased on a few of those.
ReplyDeletegood to see red dead: redemption taking home so many acknowledgments, it's probably one of the best games i've played this year
ReplyDeletecant fukin wait for protal 2 !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA mixed bag there.
ReplyDeletered dead redemption eh best game of the year..wow. halo reach got crickets
ReplyDeleteA couple of good games there ;)
ReplyDeletethis goes to show that most award shows/ceremonies don't know wtf they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Starcraft 2 has the best multiplayer. Even if Black Ops didn't lag like a mofo.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Minecraft getting the love it deserves though.
Minecraft is going to get so friggen huge now. I just know it, he'll get more devs and support... Graphics are going to be scaled up, new modes, new everything. Maybe then I'll actually play it hahaha. Why didn't SCII win Best Multiplayer?
ReplyDeletewish ive been there.
