GameZone writes, "The Spike TV 2012 Video Game Awards (VGAs) are tonight. After a less-than-stellar show last year, Samuel L. Jackson is back to host. I'm sure there's going to be quite a few changes, and then I'm sure there's still going to be some of the same acts that continue to support an immature stereotype of gamers. So here's what I want to see from the 2012 VGAs."
4chan's "Vidya Gaem Awards" are back -- see which game won their coveted "Least Hated" award.
From AlienLion:
When Kelsey Grammer hosted the Grammys, folks were surprised, since he is an actor and not a musician. Gaming folks, on the other hand, give no poop about the fact that we have the Video Game Awards brimming with movie and music stars, who have little to do with gaming. VGA X was basically an hour-long Sam Jackson commercial, and yes, he did voice a character in GTA: San Andreas but Kelsey Grammer has probably sung a song or two. Now, I’m not ranting or anything, I just find it somewhat strange, especially considering how often it results in awkwardness.
What’s most perplexing is the fact that these celebs themselves willingly (I assume) agree to actually get involved in things so completely out of their waters. I can understand when someone like Shaq simply sells his likeness for a game like Shaq Fu and says “I don’t give a shit, just send the checks,” but why anyone would actually go and spend time and effort to participate in games and gaming, without first...
I liked Rise to Honor when I was younger :O This could be the nostalgia speaking of course XD
It's not a bad game but there really is no point to it featuring Jet Li if you think about it.
As much as I love Kingdom Hearts games the celebrity voices do nothing for me and some of them are downright awful at it.
Rocket Jump: On this week’s show Jim, Todd and Ben give their thoughts on the VGA’s, custom controller accessories, and swap stories about getting wounded. Also, the question of the week: What do you want for Christmas?
i would love to see a few next gen games announcements or next gen console announcement
Well for starters I would like to see Samuel L Jackson come out dressed as Nick Fury but I doubt thats going to happen
Just give us some un announced games instead of showing us trailers to games we already know about and can be shown off any time they like.
That old school games Geoff has teased better be good because so far it's the only thing I'm watching the VGAs for.
