VGA awards and trailer rundown. Rayman: Origins, the new Xbox 360 dashboard and Max Payne 3 Development Diary
The What Culture podcast 'Game Hates You' is here again with more video game discussion that leaves no stone unturned and pulls no punches. In episode #6 (recorded 12/12/11) Jim Cross and Joe Richardson talk the VGAs. Their awards, lack of finesse, but most importantly, the continuing tradition of exciting new trailers (follow the link below for all new VGA trailers). Also this week a quick analysis of the new Xbox 360 dashboard and Rayman: Origins, this years great game you almost definitely missed. Interestingly enough this week also features incredible overuse of the word 'indicative', probably indicative of the lack of surprise regarding this years award winners (also below). http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAEC74420C3BEE20E&feature=plcp Here are some other videos discussed in this week's cast: Rainbow Six Patriotshttp://youtu.be/VE7Sr3rgGS8Max Payne 3 Dev Diaryhttp://youtu.be/Gbw27vGIJ6oHitman: Absolution FMVhttp://youtu.be/T2_uFewVo-0Hitman: Absolution Gameplay Demohttp://youtu.be/KjWtuqelHOwHere's a list of the VGA Winners:Viewer voted categories: Character of the Year: The Joker (For his performance in Batman: Arkham City) Most Anticipated Game: Mass Effect 3 Trailer of the Year: Assassins Creed: Revelations NFL Blitz Cover Star: Ray Rice The main list of awards and winners are as follows: Best DLC: Peer Review (Portal 2) Best Downloadable Game: Bastion Best Performance By a Human Female: Ellen McLain as GladOS (Portal 2) Best Performance By a Human Male: Stephen Merchant as Wheatley (Portal 2) Best Graphics: Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception Best Original Score: Bastion Best Song in a Game: Build that Wall (Zias Theme) By Darren Kobb (Bastion) Best Adapted Game: Batman: Arkham City Best Motion Game: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Best Independent Game: Minecraft Best Fighting Game: Mortal Kombat Best Driving Game: Forza Motorsport 4 Best Team Sports Game: NBA 2K12 Best Individual Sports Game: Fight Night Champion Best Multi-Player: Portal 2 Best RPG: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Best Action Adventure Game: Batman: Arkham City Best Shooter: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Best Handheld/Mobile Game: Super Mario 3D Land Best Wii Game: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Best PC Game: Portal 2 Best PS3 Game: Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception Best Xbox 360 Game: Batman: Arkham City Studio of the Year: Bethesda Game Studios Game Of The Year: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim WARNING: Explicit language and opinions that many fanboys may find offensive.
