I just finished watching the videogame awards that was streamable on IGN. It was good to see familiar faces that I havent seen in years.

I was completely impressed with LittleBigPlanets' domination of the awards. My dissappointment comes when Metal Gear Solid 4(the game I thought should win GOTY) won one award in its music. What? The game had amazing graphics, a decent if not deep online component, a super involving story line spanning decades and an unforgettable cast of characters. Come on now! Stop screwing Kojima out of his dues!!!!
A couple of the Frag Dolls were there looking good as hell! The host of the show, I forgot his name, cracked some pretty lame jokes except for the Christopher Walken impressions. Did anyone else find the show alittle too long? I had to get up, strech and take a lap around the house since I was sitting down to long. All in all it was a good show but I can see them making it alot better.
