It really didn't say, the commercials air'd over here just say 9 PM Central.. which is always the time it's on for mine lol. I live in California btw. Seeing that it's almost never actually LIVE.. you should check spike.com for schedules in other places. Sorry I couldn't include that, I thought about it too.

SPIKE.com Watch the Spike Video Game Awards - Live on Sun, Dec. 14th at 9PM/10C!

That's all I can find, :|

Lol in almost every category LBP is in it's with three other hard-core shooting games (eg. Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, MGS4) that's funny.2008-12-14 20:53:00

It's just pathetically hilarious to me how the Wii is cried at for having casuals (which are actually just NEW gamers) while this show is THE definition of what most people would call "casual".

This industry still has a lot of growing up to do...

They gave Jack Black a flamethrower. O.o

Edit: GTAIV won Game of the Year. I'm going to have to STRONGLY disagree.

I've decided I'm gonna get back into GTA... I mean it must be pretty good if it won the game of the year...

Anyway was pretty cool that MGS won a few awards even though it came out a good while ago. I guess fair play to GTA for winning while being in the same boat.

BTW the trailer for Uncharted 2 was pretty cool! Really looking forward to it... hopefully it'll be as fun as the last game.

Fallout 3 deserved RPG of the year IMO. Took me a while to get into it but I'm at about 12 hours now and it's amazing!

Games that deserve to be nominated for GOTY:
LBP, Gears of War 2, MGS4, FO3
Games that didn't deserve to be nomintated: GTA4

I mean, maybe if you played GTA4 for a day and then you could never play it again because of some curse placed upon you, but after a week GTA4 is SOOO boring.

I would have put Brawl on there, but this is more of a Western-themed award show.

Then again, it's Spike TV, so it's not really like it's worth much...

i wonder who came up with this list and who is deciding. Xplay had their similar type awards and gave fable 2 game of the year, yet fable 2 isn't nominated for that on here. seems odd to have two such awards shows on the same network...2008-12-15 04:38:00

What the **** is bad about IV?
I mean, it's a HUUUUUGE improvement over the other GTA's, and it's ALL in those small details.
Where was it more fun to drive over people?
GTA4 - Euphoria

Where was it fun to crash a car?
GTA4 - new car damage system
And I disagree with people that say it gets boring after a week: Online discoveries with friends are just....epic fun.
Seriously, stop whining about "oommmg gta iv sux, sa was waaay better", go play SA then and leave IV alone, bashers.
(Bashers not meant badly)
If you feel attacked, PLEASE attack me back with a visitor/PM message, that way it'll be more fun

I agree with the majority of the points. However, i think it was more 'boring' so to say, because they took out so many things from GTA:SA. I LOVE the new car damage system. The physics, animations, graphics are all top notch. Just... the game lacks so much. Parachutes, planes, bikes, deep character customisation, the list goes on and on. When i completed SA, it was these things which kept it fun. After i completed IV, i found i slowly ran out of things to do. Online is good though, but i couldn't really get into it.

You can still get a "future PC" and play GTA IV there, There are already mods for flying cars.
Oh and guys, remember THIS:
This was R*'s FIRST step on the PS3 and X360, it took them 3 YEARS to complete this GTA, because they were kinda researching the euphoria engine.
So yea, GTA IV is R*'s first "baby" on the next gen consoles.
I'm SURE that the next GTA will be even better then IV and SA!

Also, IV's storyline was IMO the second best one, after LCS of course.

LCS? really? lol. Personally i loved the cheese and obvious references of GTA:VC. Anywho, i do think that the final GTA to be released on PS3/360 will be outstanding. Like GTA:SA compared to GTA3.

1.LCS had by far the best storyline if you played it you'll know why.
2. yes, it WILL be outstanding, and you have excellent comparison.
though i'd rather compare SA with VC, as there was almost nothing to do in VC either...

I have played through it, but honestly i can't remember it cause it was so long ago But i remember it being enjoyable. I never completed VCS though. And there were a few fun things to do in VC. I loved the race garages there, and having the helicopters. I also LOVED the dodo in GTA3. I can fly it like a pro

GTA4 is a good game, but it doesn't stack up too well against epic games like MGS4 and GeOW2.

You know what should have been in GTA IV's place? CODWAW

You can't compare a sandbox game with a stealth/shooter
