Old?

 

[Wario64]

Rikku is ugly. NO ASS

Who really cares anyway, the whole thing is just a fanboy contest

 

[TekunoRobby]

HOTTEST CHARACTER?

We are doing this to ourselves, aren't we.

Blame MTV and pop culture.

While I don't agree with their GotY, it was the best from what they had of the nominees (to my knowledge), and my GotY for Xbox.

 

[Wario64]

Wow, apparantly Tommy Tallarico is performing the final music act in the show...haha.

Does someone kill him at the end?

 

[Deku Tree]

Surprised to see Joe up there... it didn't really appeal to the mainstream like all those other titles.

 

[Wario64]

I guess that's one good thing to come out of this show. Hopefully PS2 sales will pick up!



Browsing their forum on g4techtv, I find it funny that the people on the forum hate the show too. You'd think G4 would get it right the 2nd time

 

[cvxfreak]

Damnit, I hate these awards.

 

[evilromero]

Typical boring list of winners.

 

[sprsk]

what kind of award show gives out awards based solely on the opinions of retard forum posters?

oh yeah, video game award shows.

 

[Senretsu]

They were showing last years G-Phoria today, I didn't have G4 back then so I was trying to watch it for the cosplay part I heard so much about. It was kind of embarrasing to watch, though some parts were done ok.

Anyway it seemed like a whole 2 hour commercial to get you into EBgames. "Dont forget, you can get the winners at EB!" Game award shows shouldn't exist, or the format should be changed, or the format should be changed.....or....the format should be changed. I'll might be tuning in next week to see if they've improved, but its sounding really stupid ATM.

no kidding.

if the academy did their awards show the same way, lord of the rings would've won in every category it was nominated.

 

[hobbitx]

I just hope they bring the cosplayers back, watching them was the funniest thing I've ever seen on G4 period.

and yeah I've seen way better than Rikku but it's not surprising she's winning, look at the selection of nominees. http://www.g4techtv.com/g-phoria/vote.aspx?awardcategory_key=4

I guess you didn't watch this year's Oscars.

Don't worry, Mike. I understood the joke. It was funny, and I even chuckled a bit.

Throw in playable versions of Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and Halo 2--plus other titles from Nintendo, Konami, and Sony--and pretty soon the show Electra dubbed the "Video Game Oscars," ended up feeling a lot like a latter-day (and slightly more intimate) E3 for a thousand industry insiders.

While the overall production was a marked improvement over last year's inaugural awards, the show still suffered from numerous technical delays--with some obvious fallout. After it was announced that rapper Jadakiss would have to re-perform his entire song due to a technical glitch, a noticeable portion of the audience quickly exited the auditorium--and most didn't come back.

lol

The audience was filled with game developers from all corners of the world--but few got screen time, with the notable exception of Epic's Cliff Bleszinki and Metal Gear Solid visionary Hideo Kojima, who was presented with a special achievement award by Spider-Man creator Stan Lee.

What is Kojima doing at an awards show like this?! At least he got an award

Don't make make me hurt you, Metts.

Was there another console game where the online multiplayer had one side playing a FPS game and the other side in third person stealth?

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Wow, VJ won an award that G4 viewers actually voted on :O.

im sorry, i fail to see the innovation here.

 

[ManaByte]

im sorry, i fail to see the innovation here.

Maybe because it hasn't been done before?

 

[Littleberu]

Maybe because it hasn't been done before?

So If I create a game where you can put a knife up your ass, it would be innovation?

 

[Ramirez]

Probably because its executed flawlessly and is fun as hell,maybe?NAAAAAAAAAH THAT COULDN'T BE IT :O
