OXCGN:
"For many of us the VGAs were a bit underwhelming.
We had new announcements in the form of new ‘post-apocaliptic’ zombie survival type games (sigh), and new footage of some upcoming games that look either very promising (Bioshock Infinite, Hitman Absolution) or incredibly silly (Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, or as I call it: Devil May Rise: Cryvengance)...
Then we had the idiocy that made our gaming industry look even more puerile with ‘tea bagging’ those whose speech went a little long and bad jokes...
Anyway, for the last week or so we at OXCGN have been nominating and tallying our own Game Of The Year Awards for 2011.
Without any more rambling, here are OXCGN’s Game Of The Year Awards for 2011.
Feel free to discuss your opinions of the VGAs and our picks in the comments section below."

ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…
Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.
I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
Well Battlefield 3 over MW3 is the right choice I think...except I do love the Seatown map and the fact we can play local multi offline in MW3.
Who would have thought a Sesame Street game would win a category...
I agree with the judgement on the VGAs, I think they took it over the top...
'We had new announcements in the form of new ‘post-apocaliptic’ zombie survival type games (sigh), and new footage of some upcoming games that look either very promising (Bioshock Infinite, Hitman Absolution)'
So according to OXCGN, The Last of Us, the brand new IP by one of the best developers in the industry ,is unoriginal, whilst 2 sequels to franchises (Hitman Absolution is the 5th in the series!) are fresh & promising. Anyone else see the irony?
Don't get me wrong, both Hitman & Bioshock look great. But this 'journalist' is a deluded hypocritical fanboy.
Go Jetpack Joyride!
Overall they got a lot of things wrong but in all honesty ... who really gives a sh*t. it doesnt change a thing about what games better to you at the end of the day
