Video Game Awards (12/14/04 on Spike TV)

I missed the Video Game Awards on SpikeTV last night. Spiketv.com was no help - they require the flash plugin to see the results, and since I’m at work downloading a plugin is not in the cards.

Can someone please give me the rundown of the categories, nominees & winners?

Thanks.

Game of the Year: GTA: SA
Game based on a movie: Chron. of Riddick
Best driving game: Burnout 3
Best action game: GTA: SA
Best sports game: Madden NFL 2005
Best fighting game: Mortal Combat: Deception
Designer of the year: Jason Jones (Halo 2)
Best first person shooter: Halo 2
Best PC game: Half-Life 2
Best graphics: Half-Life 2
Best MMORPG: City of Heros (for some reason World of Warcraft wasn’t nominated)
Best RPG: Fable
Best military game: Call of Duty: Finest Hour

Those are the major ones.

If the show was half as annoying as this summary makes it sound, I’m damn glad I missed it.

“Most Addictive Game fueled by Mountain Dew”? WTF??? :eek: :smack:

Dammit! Why did Donkey Konga not win?

A not-very-impressed (to say the least) editorial on it can be seen here.
