Anyone care to make a prediction?

Every year my respect for them falls to new lows. In fact I did not know my respect could fall this low. The only nominations I agree with are the Indie games, to an extent. I'm really torn between AudioSurf and World of Goo in that category. Won't bother making any other comments since they will probably be considered flaming.

I am with your predictions and with the score I think MGS4 is going to get it.

Also, have they even played L4D yet? How did they nominate it considering it's not even out yet?

How can Tales of Vesperia not be nominated for RPG of the year?

The game is absolutely perfect! What gives, Spike?

And Boom Blox over Mario Kart Wii for best Wii game? Please.

You could be right. I didnt hear the scores in other games so...

The thing people must remember about Spike Tv VGAs is that most of the audience prolly doesn't get MGS4. They hear its good from other people...so they will give it some awards. But i doubt MGS4 will win anything but original score and voicework on Spike TV.

If they're running the PC version of Fallout 3, surely that's going to get the graphics award.

I think Gears will get it since its really hot right now... plus of the accomplishment they achieved with xbox360 limits.

Im sure Crysis and Fallout 3 PC look better tho...

SoulCalibur4 will not win the best fighting game award,that will go to SSBB in which I think should have been a GOTY nominee.

My picks:

GOTY: (out of what's there) Gears 2
Studio: HAL Labs for SSBB. But Media Molecule.
Shooter: Gears
RPG: TWEWY
Fighting: SSBB
Sports: Skate It
Handheld: Professor Layton
Graphics: Toss-up between Gears and MGS4
Licensed: Quantum of Solace
Music Game: Rock Band 2
Driving Game: Mario Kart Wii
Action-Adventure: MGS4
Team Sports: NBA
Soundtrack: LittleBig Planet
360 game: Gears of War 2
Wii game: SSBB
PS3 game: LBP
PC Game: Spore
Original score: LBP
Best Multiplayer: Gears 2
Performance Male: David Hayter
Performance Female: Keeley Hawes
Mountain Dew: Braid
