I don't think game criticism can shake off the feel that it's just a PR stunt and you get more valuable information asking people you know personally/on forums, at least in my eyes. I like RPS's 20 games of Christmas, where they basically say: These things stuck around in our heads during this year. There's also a big gap between what NA plays and what Europe/Asia play, but that's off topic. Also I wouldn't call it hate, more like indifference, I won't make any further effort to bash the awards, because that would imply I care about them (yes, I know I contradict myself a bit, but I'm not a robot)Why the hate with the date? What games are still coming out this year, and why wouldn't you think the game reviewers that vote for these things wouldn't be able to play release candidates for them at this point anyway?
Honestly, the only thing that jumps out at me is PC game. I find it telling that Starcraft 2B isn't anywhere, but yeah, as much as I like to see indie-ish games get recognition, DOTA2 not bouncing one of those entries is odd.
Zaphid, what's with the hate? Theshowis a joke, yes, but thenominations and winnersrecently have been pretty justified.
