Spike Videogames Awards gives out trophies to unfinished games!

Here are the winners of the Spike Video Game Awards. See, this is why this industry is treated like shit.

Last I checked, the Grammys don't give out awards to CDs that haven't been released yet. Congrats to King Kong. Too bad that game isn't out yet. And giving best individual sports game to Tony Hawk? Over Tiger Woods. Seriously, give me golf any day over Super Ollie + kick back + 4 on the floor + ollie + reverse twist = 3060 points!

I didn’t think this was out yet either.

Bulletproof (Vivendi Universal Games)

Ditto.

* BEST WIRELESS GAME (Viewer’s Choice): Marc Ecko’s Getting Up (Atari,
Inc. & Glu)

WTF? Never heard of this. Is this some odd use of the word “wireless”
I’m not familiar with?

* BEST FIGHTING GAME: Fight Night Round 2 (Electronic Arts)

Ouch, Killzone is going to implode that SCIII didn’t get the nod.
