It's funny how the people at Spike want the VGAs to be taken seriously, but allow it to be bought so easily. I mean a site that just launched last year, and was backed by MS, has the most representatives of any site? And the Official Xbox mag has a representative, yet no other official mag does? Yea, that doesn't scream bias at all.

Of course, most people only watch the VGAs for the reveals.

I dont think a single Xbox exclusive has won GOTY as long as I've been watching. Even Halo 4 didnt have a shot so you could be right and I thought Halo 4 was the biggest game to come out last year. That and Microsoft doesn't exactly always have a huge list of top notch exclusives out of first party. If they did, there would be a huge chance that they would. I think Halo 4 got best Xbox game though.

I would honestly say it is heavily biased towards Western Bro Demographic, not specific console.

VGAs are a joke please don't even bother to put any stock in that joke of a show.

Forget the fact that they haven't won, most years: They arent even nominated. Sony has atleast like one title every year be up there.

I do think that the official XB magazine shouldn't be allowed to be in it, or they are, the Playstation and Nintendo ones should be able to as well.

Loved both games but Other than the immersive story,
Gta5 in my opinion has been a better overall game than TLOU...

Op and everyone else complaining need to man up cause you guys are looking like babies !
