I really don’t care about awards shows. They’re pretty much bullshit. But i decided to DVR Spike’s VGA show last night because they were gonna show previews for upcoming games. The show was mostly a bunch of trailers for games with a few awards thrown in. Some of the winners didn’t make sense.

Best multi-player game was Portal 2. I love Portal 2! It’s a very good game and great for co-op, but i don’t think it should have won over Battlefield 3, MW3, or Gears of war 3.

Best graphics was Uncharted 3 which is a good choice. My problem is i think i few other games should have been mentioned in the top 5. Battlefield 3 and Skyrim. Instead they had Batman Arkham City, LA Noire, and Rage. I understand Batman Arkham City being up there. Its an amazing looking game. The other two i dont think are anything special graphics wise.

Best PC game was Portal 2. At this point I guess i should be happy that The Witcher 2 was even mentioned. But i don’t think Portal 2 should have won.

Game of the year went to Skyrim. which is an awesome choice. But once again better games should have been in the top 5.

I know this shit shouldn’t bug me, but it does. Because all the lemmings out there watch that show and listen to what they hear. They could be missing out on some great games because someone told them MW3 is a better game than Battlefield 3.
