So i was looking at the VGX website (better know as VGA) and I was looking at who's on their voting panel. It turns out they have 3 guys from Polygon on the advisory panel, and even 1 from the Official Xbox Magazine. Only 2 other cites even have 2 representatives, no other cite besides polygon has 3. Even the biggest gaming cite, IGN, only has 1 representative. Not only that. Theres a rep from Xbox Magazine. no other console has a dedicated cite being present. Not PlayStation Magazine, nor Nintendo.

It just seems odd to me that they would only have a rep from xbox, and not for the other consoles, and on top of that have the most reps (3) coming from polygon, while every other cite besides Kataku, and penny arcade? (with 2 reps each) has only one representative.

Also i hate how they nominate games before some of them even come out, and then also leave out games that havent come out yet (namely GT6 this year, Far Cry last year). And really, Call of Duty and Battlefield are nominated for best shooter, but Killzone isnt? really.

So is this just a coincidence, an gross oversight, or perhaps intentional? Does this make VGX bias?
