Now that we've seen all the categories and nominations of the GB awards, what are your thoughts? Was there any missing categories or games that you feel should've been included? Were you surprised by some of the categories (cough..Soulja Boy Award..cough)? What is your impression about the awards as a whole?
So, what are your thoughts about the Giant Bomb awards?
"Were you surprised by some of the categories (cough..Soulja Boy Award..cough)?The soulja boy award isn't surprising at all. We knew they were going to to some crazy ass funny categories, and with soulja boy being in so much gaming news lately it wasn't a huge surprise. I wouldn't have predicted it, but at the same time it's not exactly surprising.
"
"I like all the categories they have and the nominees they chose for the most part. But I think they should have added some game footage to the videos to make them a little more entertaining."
There were many categories and it would've taken a lot of effort to include footage of all the nominees in the videos. Also, Vinny is one lazy dude. :P
"I thought there was a nice mix of real and fake awards which fits nicely into what GiantBomb is."This.
I think in the end, if I had to level out any criticism, the awards and categories were perhaps a little too extensive. I mean, that was a lot of video to catch up on.
On the whole, it was cool and I suppose my main gripe is that it all came out in one day rather than over a few days. If they had released some noms today, some tomorrow, etc, it would have felt more fleshed out than overdone.
But that's just me.
I think there was a mild amount of snubbery that should be addressed.
- Mega Man 9 not nominated for Best Classic Revival is a travesty... mankind will not stand for this.
- World of Goo snubbed for Best "Games as Art" Game and Best Downloadable Game... a bigger travesty.
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl and/or No More Heroes should've made the Game of the Year list.
Other than that, I have no gripes... solid lists overall. Seeing Braid and No More Heroes get multiple nominations make me smile Dunaway style!
"I thought the nominees and categories were great.well i don't think that spore was enough of a failure to be put in that category. It was still a pretty good game
Only thing I don't agree with it Spore not being in the dissapointing games award, but hey, nobodys perfect."
"Dalai said:Banjo: Nuts and Bolts wasn't a remake, it was also a continuation. It's Best Classic Revival, as in to 'revive' an old franchise. And given how Mega Man 8 is 11 years old now, I think it would sit suitably within Best Classic Revival category.Mega Man 9 not nominated for Best Classic Revival is a travesty... mankind will not stand for this.Isn't this a continuation of the series and not a remake at all?
All the nominees and awards are crazy cool. Can't wait for the year in review podcast."
It would have been cooler if they sat around at a table with their judging uniforms on when they discussed the categories. Would have made it more professional.
"they left out mount and blade."
Wtf? ... Just shut up ...

I think everything was fine, and I had a good laugh with those vids!
I was a bit shocked to see Burnout Paradise up for Best Graphics instead of Far Cry 2. That's a tad....weird.
I just would have liked there to be game footage in the videos but other than that... I think they did a good job. Looking forward to seeing what wins.
"It would have been cooler if they sat around at a table with their judging uniforms on when they discussed the categories. Would have made it more professional."Yeah, because Giant Bomb is all about being professional. That would be funny actually. judging uniforms LOL
