Vga game of year 2012

Triple Town. And what do ya know, the lot of those "social networking games" made it into our own top 10 list for Facebook games. And one of those might have squeezed into our top 10 free iPhone and iPad games list. It's quite an honor to be an IAA nominee, and we're particularly excited to see Triple Town receive a nomination. And since Playdom recently decided to publish the Spry Fox-developed game , we guess that means the Disney -owned studio scored two nominations You know, if you can't make it out to Vegas.

Are you a fan of any the games nominated? Which casual or Facebook game do you think deserved a nomination that didn't make it into the IAAs?

I mean they put wii sports in there! Now its a good fun game and all but no way in hell is it a canidate for game of the decade. I mean the original mario galaxy dethroned ocarina of time as the highest rated game of all time on gamerankings for petes sake!

Nintendo didn't really have that many amazing games this year, so that's not really surprising. The Wii was dead and the WiiU just launched. And they shouldn't, it's a milestone on the road to the future of this media, so it's not for them.

What an awesome picture. At first I was confused, but now it is quite funny. I'm pretty happy that Sound Shapes won. It is an awesome title. But was Kid Icarus nominated at all? It's not possible to take anything on Spike TV seriously at all. This show is for the people who's involvement in video games is only that they watch the VGA each year. For real, the program is not for people that have a game centered lifestyle.

Not at all. I love how everyone claims the award show was garbage because only one Nintendo game got an award lol. I don't pay attention to the VGA's anymore. Not to mention most of the nominations seem like the same [instert M-rated action] game every year.

Anybody who thinks the VGA's is a legitimate awards show is fooling themselves. All the categories are "best" and "game of the" and video games are one of the things that are so numerous and varied, that they just wont fit into the categories.

Best Multiplayer? Did you really have every single game with a multiplayer mode in the running? If so, how did you compare them? Best graphics; most realistic or best style?

And how did you rank styles? Why is Draw Something being compared to Simcity, and how come all but one of the handhelds are Sony when the vita is doing terribly, and the 3DS had a lot of good releases that weren't the newest Mario? Why is most anticipated even a category; that's just blatant advertising for sequels. These awards are just nonsense advertising and fake credibility for an industry that needs a different kind of attention. You can make legitimate categories, but voting can't be restricted; it has to be voted for in mass, then taken down to the top 5, which is decided on by the biggest names in the industry who have no relation to the names they're voting on.

That is clearly not what happened here; the variety in the developers and games should show that. What about Scribblenauts or,not to mention Nintendo Land?!
