Bah, no Left 4 Dead 2: Episode 1 announcement?
- Hitman
- Command & Conquer
- Bioshock
Nice having Forza up there with an award ;D
best shooter MW3? WTF? C'mon!!!! It's rigged! Rigged I tell ya!
As much as I don't care for the VGA's, it's nice to see Bastion getting its props! That game's score is fantastic.
COD MW3 and no BF3???? what a fuking joke….
Metal Gear raising looks like they borrowed the name just to hump the franchise some more. It really looks like it should be a separate game with a different name. But then I haven't bothered to play the last 2 MG games so maybe this is normal…
Bioshock Infinite.. looks so damn sexy
MW3 being shooter of the year makes me question how they come up with these winners. I mean c'mon, what kind of shit is that, did they forget BF3 was released as well.
A bit sad to see that Deus Ex: Human Rev, my personal GOTY, didn't get any love at all.
Skyrim winning over Dark Souls? No accounting for taste, I guess.
VGA is a joke, I'm surprised you guys are even featuring it here.
Also, REVENGEANCE
Darksiders 2…trailer?
Its funny to watch ME3 trailer and that Spiderman trailer after that
,deja vu..
Damn that Metal Gear looks dumb. First you see people cutting soldiers with one strike, then you see gameplay where you have to slash soldiers for ages before they go into pieces, and i know imagination is nice when doing games but when you see the player throwing that huge robot.. please god no. Where's the sneaking and stealth things?
