They'll probably feel the need to give it to Black Ops this year.
Fact that Modern Warfare 1 and 2 went unawarded and sold so much, plus the fact that the brand is taking such a huge chunk of Live traffic, they probably just have to do it at this point.
Gotta be honest, the biggest announcement to come out of this that I am hyped for is to see the new SSX. It better be there. It better not be a rumor just getting my hopes up. I wants it. All my dicks are cumming for it.
The new SSX is real, but it sounds pretty bad
It sounds like they're applying skate-style analog stick controls to it, which is terrible
Hopefully it's a filthy lie or that's just an optional mode or something
Like amped 1 and 2? Because those were awesome. And skate is awesome.

You tart.
I haven't played Amped
Skate is the opposite of awesome, but ignoring that, it's also the polar opposite of something crazy and arcade-style like SSX

what i thought UV was saying is skate was fine
but then the sequels came out, and Tony Hawk RIDE came out, and Shaun White Skateboarding came out, and the idea just got overused way too often, with little redeemable changes worth the cost of each game
which is what the new SSX looks like it will follow
Remember when the VGA's would have nominees that were games that weren't even out yet? It would literally be "GAME OF THE YEAR" and half of the nominees weren't scheduled to be released for another month or two.
That or like "MOST EXTREEEME GAME" sponsored by Mt. Dew.
That still happens. They finish the nominations in October, before any of the November games are even out. How the hell do you think Black Ops got nominated? It's part of a huge franchise and had pretty trailers.
If Mass Effect 2 doesn't win GOTY, I might just cut myself.
It would be worse than Saving Private Ryan losing to Shakespeare in Love. God, that was awful.
Eh, I thought that was a poor choice at the time, but thinking about it now I realize that I have watched Shakespeare in Love many more times than Saving Private Ryan in the years since then. Shakespeare in Love is eminently watchable, and I find myself leaving it on nearly every time I flip channels and come across it. Saving Private Ryan often requires more of a certain mood from me, and if I actually feel like watching something like that I'll typically opt for Band of Brothers instead, since I find it to be superior in almost every way.
Looking through the nominees made me realize just how few new games I played this year though. I've still done plenty of gaming, but apparently it's primarily been on older titles I'd missed the first time around or re-purchased through GoG or Steam. That and just the sheer amount of time I spend on games with strong multi-player components like Rock Band 2. In a year where I bought a ton of games, this might actually be the lowest number of near-release purchases for me in decades.
It's also a quality game according to most gaming publications
So? There were plenty of quality games that didn't get nominated for GOTY, a number with better reviews than Black Ops. Like Bayonetta, AC: Brotherhood and Super Mario Galaxy 2.
So what you're saying is they're completely random and ass-backwards?
Well it helps if you read the reviews, I mean you can't really compare games as disparate as Rock Band 3 and GT5 with a straight 0 - 10 scale without some further explanation required. On the whole I find them to be a reliable indicator of quality. Just saying, that is one source who isn't afraid to rate plenty of games above CODBLOPS.
So, is there going to be a stream again this year?
Also, having played every CoD besides 3, I can say Black Ops is pretty much in the same boat as every other Treyarch release. That is to say while fun it is definitely overshadowed by the Infinity Ward effort. Modern Warfare 2 did a lot more for the franchise moving forward than Black Ops did. In fact, I think it's safe to say Black Ops didn't really do much to move it forward though it did have some neat ideas.

Yeah. The story is a very welcome deviation from the norm for the series, but it's hard to give them all that much credit for "Michael Bay's Manchurian Candidate," especially when everything else is the exact same as previous games.
There's fun to be had there, but it definitely lacks momentum.
If it did it'd say a lot about licensed games this year...
I'm not sure why people are going on about how so and so better win. It's not like the VGA's has even a speck of credibility, so who gives a crap? The most credible awards in the industry are the GDC awards.

so i won't feel so out of touch/poor

I'll just say RDR. I'd really like that to win.
i would love it if Red Dead Redemption won GOTY
Steam
As long as it isn't Halo. I was a huge fan of the first 3, but I just feel like enough is enough already.

TOO MANY GOOD GAMES THIS YEAR

which is cause for concern
Steam

because it kept being delayed, so much that they weren't even sure it would be released this year
next year it will win Best Driving Game though
Steam
It's not gonna win, but it's still nice.

Just for reference, in the most recent edition that puts it alongside DKCR, GT5, Fable III and Kinectimals.
Kirby's Epic Yarn, Dance Central, Assassin's Creed : Brotherhood, Super Meat Boy and Kinect Sports got an 8.
Need For Spped : Hot Persuit got a 9.
Rock Band 3 got a 10.
It really does come down to an Infallible Host vs an Unsaveable Show.

Stop being so wrong.

What's number 2-5 on your list?

No, CliffyB said Gears 3 won't have any Kinect functionality. Which is why everyone assumed Gears of Kinect will be a seperate game.
But oh yeah, since Spaniard has brought it up again I should really go edit that in the OP.
1 - ME2
2 - Bad Company 2
3 - Bayonetta
4 - BioShock 2
5 - Halo Reach
