SpikeTV Videogame Awards Results

I'm definetly watching this, just to see Tony Hawk's Underground win. I wonder if Hawk will accept the award, like he did at the BlockBuster Video award show. He skated in from out of nowhere, said some cool shit, then ollied out of there. It owned.

Check out the www.spiketv.com site's video game timeline. Sure, it's filled with a shit load of typos and some of the information is way off, but the visual presentation and 8bit music playing in the background really made me smile. Be sure to check out the song called "Timemachinego". Props to them for having so many Williams/Midway games on there.

inconcievable!

and hes only just begun

Best fighting game - WWE Smackdown
Game of the year - Madden NFL 2004


I mean seriously, are we supposed to belive that shit? Smackdown... a fighting game? and how does madden, a friggin football title get game of the year??

I don't know what these guys are smoking, but it looks like it's causing a pretty good amount of brain damage.

Makes Time Magazine's list look good in comparision.

They ain't paid to cover the "lesser known" titles. This is nothing more then a way of hyping software so publishers can get a bigger sum on their paychecks.

Good fucking lord. I'm still gonna watch the award show though, cause frankly there's not much else on thursday at 9pm.

This reminds me of the "TNL Top 50 Games of All Time" list that was compiled a while back... it was one of the worst lists Ive ever seen, much much worse than anything EGM/GamePro/NextGen/whoever put together.

If you watch the Blockbuster Awards, which has the public pick the best movies and tv shows and shit, they are just as ludicrous as this SpikeTV shit.

Madden's a great game. Knock it all you want, and think you're hardcore while doing it, but Madden's a great game. It's not a bad GOTY pick at all.

actually, with madden 2004 winning game of the year, you'd think EGM was behind the list.

Well, at least CoD won best FPS. It deserves it.

I like Madden, but it's definitely not GOTY. At least not for me. God forbid people like a game. :\

I have no problem knocking it, I'm just wondering how could it be GOTY caliber when we've all seen that honor belong to different games outside of sports titles? The series is ok, but there has to be some serious tweaking or overhaul to even be considered as great.
