    I love how Peter Jackson's King Kong and 50 Cent: Bulletproof will not even be released until after the show itself, yet they make up a good portion of the nominations. Not to mention the loads of Activision, EA, and Midway nominations. I dare say that someone is definatly paying for a spot on the nominations list...

    Same stuff happened a while back with Halo 2 and MGS3. They know whats going to sell. I'd like for Star Wars Battlefront II to get a nomination of some sort.

    what's going to sell and what's good are two different things.

    G4 sucks so bad they actually strive to be the new Spike TV....lol

    They feel they need to shift their content ot reach a different market. They paid millions to show reruns of the man show and Fastlane...

    I'm sorry to anyone that ever thought this was an award show and not just an extended commercial (as is everything nowadays). Hell, I'd rather that MTV Xbox 360 special again over this...

    Part of me would love to see a REAL video game awards show, the other part realizes that any award show is a waste of time, resources and brain cells.

    Yeah, that awards show is complete crap. I think last year the game of the year was Madden and best animation went to Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. Katamari Damacy was one of the nominations though which was the only redeeming factor.

    G4 is a bad channel... (maybe poor is a better word)..

    I would like to see some more Serious shows... instead we have like 3 review shows.. and some other things..

    I would like to see it setup more like Actual Network TV.... including shows like or similar to:
    A SERIOUS news show... in the morning (business, release dates, etc.)
    A review show that has decent hosts that rates games on a 10 point scale
    A Preview show of things that are comming up/in developeent
    A talk show... host who then interviews various Video Game related guests
    How about a Show that actually features Gamers playing Games for money or something (a Game show!?)
    A evening news show
    Shows similar to Icons
    A Show similar to Cheat

    Just a few ideas that i was thinking about

    well G4 in the way it was run after the Tech TV buyout is dead. They fired the guy that was the architect to the whole thing and they are whispering about dumping the game only format for something more hip and cool..to get the MTV/Spike TV type viewers.

    Thats too bad.. because i think there would be a market for a non hip/Cool (MTV/Spike tv style) video game network...

    icons was good until they ran out of things to do it on or got lazy. The graphics on the show suck but its the content. Now they do shit like Mark cuban and splinter cell...a game that's only been out for like 3 years.
