replies: text: While I can't say anything about the DS, the RE4 nominations all listed the PS2 as the platform. If you followed the Spike game info, you wouldn't even know it had been released for the GameCube. -- 142.166.3.82 17:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Would be nice to see more information about the events in general, like where they take place / were filmed.  I think that the 2007 awards were in the Mandalay Bay - I was on vacation and saw signage for the production staff on the Monday before they occurred, but that doesn't mean that the actual event happened there.

message: :"The stereotype that gamers are immature and have a low sense of humor is also prevalent, as demonstrated in "Hot Girls Read Cheat Codes" in which scantily clad models read the directions for cheat codes in a seductive tone of voice.http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/games/2004-12-15-vga-results_x.htm"
The "demonstration" is POV. If someone doesn't tell me why it is not POV, I'll remove it. --Jedravent (talk) 22:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "Thier Anti-Nintendo policies were basically proven as fact when Super Mario Galaxy wasn't nominated for Game of the Year, even though it was the second best reviewed game of all time, scoring higher than all the other games on the list by most critics."
This needs to get replaced/removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.56.68 (talk) 05:49, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

message: These awards are total shite. But that's just my opinion. The point is that on virtually EVERY gaming blog/site there's criticisms that should be echoed here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.3.18 (talk) 07:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree - I seem to recall last year that they released the nominees (or perhaps winners.. can't quite remember) before some of the games had even been released. I've never heard anything but criticism about these awards, so I think the omission of such a section is glaring. MatttK (talk) 00:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Is anyone objective to adding in the nominees as well? It'd be nice to be able to see who all was eligible to win each award as well as who took home the gold.
--ZeroAccend (talk) 22:06, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to say it shouldn't be done, but that will take a lot of time searching through all the sources and then having to add them all to the page. Good idea, but is it really worth it? I mean, if someone wants to do it, go for it, but let us know what kind of lay out their going to use. Will they bullet underneath the award the nominees or will they just make a main section under the Previous Winners section titled Nominees and list each year, the awards under each year, and the nominees by each award? If I were to do it, it would be the latter. JDC808 (talk) 08:49, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

message: While I think the VGA's are an embarrassment Olivia Munn did not exactly say her XBox red-ringed while playing Metal Gear Solid 4. The line (in a complaint to Neil Patrick Harris being host) was, "I was red-ringing three XBox's (pause) watching every god damn cut of Metal Gear Solid 4...".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.45.204 (talk) 07:20, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Here's the list of the VGA Advisory Council as of 2011, a list of 25 gaming journalism figures who pick the nominees and winners of the VGAs. I think this should be added to the article.

message: While I realize this article is 2/3rds tables. I think we need to split this article and have a "List of Spike Video Game Awards" article and give each year its own section there. This page is becoming a beast. Thoughts? — WylieCoyote 02:31, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: What would be the difference? Or can you elaborate more on what would remain for this article? --JDC808 ♫ 02:45, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe instead of splitting it into separate articles, we could collapse the tables of the past winners instead? I don't know. Is that against the manual of style or something? WANI ♪♫♪ 03:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Collapsing the tables would be fine and shouldn't be against the MOS. --JDC808 ♫ 03:26, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Moving the tables to a separate article would leave the following sections: Spike's Video Game Hall of Fame, Nomination, Reception, Parodies, References, and External links; and would drop the article size from 75,794 bytes to around 8,000. Perhaps we could leave the "GOTY", "SOTY", and "Gamer God" mentions with the link to a List page. That would keep some context. As for collapsing or hiding the tables, I've tried that on some lengthy sections of other articles and was reverted due to sight-impaired reader problems. But that was my first idea. — WylieCoyote 03:30, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I tried collapsing them but the only way I know how wouldn't work. If we do in fact do a split, I suggest we keep the most recent years table here, then move it to that list page the next year, and so on and so forth. We can also keep the those awards you mentioned. --JDC808 ♫ 03:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
