Damn, I was hoping this would be dropped due to the "slowing-economy."
Also, how did they pick LEGO: Indiana Jones over Batman? Like, was it a hat, or more of a dartboard setup?
Isn't the LEGO Batman game based on the comic books and neither the movies or TV show? Granted, the demo at least used the Tim Burton Batman music, but I don't think that was it's inspiration...
The absence of Banjo is regrettable but not unexpected. I expect that game to be the surprise hit of the year.
I'm also greatly saddened by the complete lack of Geometry Wars 2 and Castle Crashers. I'd vote Geometry Wars 2 as one of the best games of the year period so the fact that it didn't show up anywhere is pathetic.

I don't really expect DD titles to ever get mainstream recognition, and even amongst enthusiast websites the best I can hope for is a specialized category, but I agree. I don't typically try to rank my games, but if I did I'm sure Geo Wars 2 and Braid would be near the top of my list.
Gears of War 2's writing and story are laughable in comparison to others. Really, it's like a shitty action movie that you're supposed to laugh at...or a B movie. Even their emotionally driven scenes are kind of meh for me.
Their villains are caricatures who we fail to empathize with at any level and their heroes...well...meh.

That is because spike is full of idiots who don't like downloadable games.

Did anybody else find this to be highly depressing, and/or a joke? Not to knock Michael Hunter's incidentals and theme work in GTA IV... but nearly 90% of the game's soundtrack are just licensed tracks. I have "Soviet Connection" on my ipod, heh.
Same with Rock Band... and Guitar Hero World Tour.
Best Soundtrack is just "Spike's Best iPod Playlist"
Edit: Micheal Hunter is the dude who composed the other music from GTA IV.

Isn't Spike the network with the show manSWERS? An apparently live action version of Maxim's trivia pages? I think my point is that SpikeTV sucks. Is that yours, too?

Oh man, I just looked up the past winners. It seems that they had a category for scores... but this year there is no "Best Original Score" category? Go figure.
2007: Best Original Score - Bioshock
2006: Best Original Score - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Bethesda Softworks)
Looks like composers get another awards show on PBS.

Braid probably won't win since Soulja Boy (Tell 'Em) didn't like it. If only it weren't Mario in a business suit, then I'm sure it might have made it out on top.

tbh, I didn't like Braid myself. :P

Lack of Left 4 Dead disturbs the Director. You wont like him when he's angry.

Midnight club LA for best racer? Really? GRiD was a WAAAY better game than this one.
GRiD was a VERY underrated game... the Demolition Derby mode was worth the price of admission alone, and I'd take the game's vast range of cars to play with over Midnight Club's fake Xtreme Drama presentation and promoting heavy cosmetic customization for performance upgrades any day.

Yeah i can safely say GRiD was one of the best racing games i have ever played, i got it on PC and never regretted it one bit, its absolutely awesome and i am going to pick it up on 360 soon as well to play with some friends. It's just a really entertaining game all around. Drifting was my favourite even if i get stomped by those insane drifter nuts online.

It's pretty much the channel for the borderline retarded.
Well, that is a horrible list IMHO and stupidly biased towards FPS-and-boob-loving-males, but then again that is pretty much Spike's entire audience, so it makes sense.

I will just ignore these like I do every year.
But really, how different do you expect all the other lists to be?

But I'm pretty sure it's not the best game.
Isn't the LEGO Batman game based on the comic books and neither the movies or TV show? Granted, the demo at least used the Tim Burton Batman music, but I don't think that was it's inspiration...
You have a gift for understatement. If there was a best story category I'm sure GoW 2 would be right up there.
I respectfully disagree. Act 4 spoilers:

Can you name another music game worthy of being nominated that wasn't called Guitar Hero: somethingorother?
At least they didn't nominate a DDR.
There's DJ MAX Fever, but that's still two months away.
I don't really expect DD titles to ever get mainstream recognition, and even amongst enthusiast websites the best I can hope for is a specialized category, but I agree. I don't typically try to rank my games, but if I did I'm sure Geo Wars 2 and Braid would be near the top of my list.

More like "Best Breaking Technology"
Braid is on there. At least, it is for the Mountain Dewing.

Anything No More Heroes from Spike is still pretty crazy.
Also Travis had awful voice acting if you didn't "get" the game.
It's pretty much the channel for the borderline retarded.
Does it now come in women? With gun flavour?
I will just ignore these like I do every year.
SC lost its touch to me at least. Brawl is a better fighter IMO.
But really, how different do you expect all the other lists to be?
im not talking about which is the better game im talking about how much different Brawl is from a traditional fighting games like soul calibur
