The Spike VGAs may have had a name change this year to the VGX awards, but it was business as usual for the MTV Movie Awards of gaming. There were losers and there were winners that night. Here’s the list of developers and games that walked away with top honours that night.

  • Best Song – “Will the Circle be Unbroken” (BioShock Infinite)
  • Best Soundtrack – Grand Theft Auto V
  • Best Voice Actress – Ashley Johnson
  • Best Voice Actor – Troy Baker 
  • Best Casual game – Animal Crossing: New Leaf
  • Best Handheld game – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
  • Best PC game – Gone Home 
  • Best Nintendo game – Super Mario 3D World 
  • Best PlayStation game –  The Last of Us
  • Best Xbox game – Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
  • Best DLC – Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
  • Best Driving game – Forza Motorsport 5
  • Best Fighting game – Injustice: Gods Among Us
  • Best RPG – Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
  • Best Independent game – Gone Home
  • Best Sports game – NBA 2K14
  • Best Action Adventure game – Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
  • Best Shooter – BioShock Infinite 
  • Studio of the Year – Naughty Dog
  • Game of the Year – Grand Theft Auto V

A couple of good choices there, a couple of not so good decisions. Of course, the Spike VGX awards are only one of many, many awards that will be handed out to various games this year, with the far more prestigious and sought-after Lazygamer Awards arriving at the end of the year.

The only award that actually matters, it’ll be up soon. And by soon, I mean by as soon as we’re done voting. So far, Zoe has lost three fingers trying to convince us that Call of Duty: Ghosts should not win best driving game of the year, but the democratic chainsaw said otherwise.

Truth, Justice, Integrity and the North Korean way. The Lazygamer Awards will be hitting your face with completely biased voting soon.

  1. But Brothers a Tale of Two Sons is multi platform? Surely the Xbox could have gotten an exclusive?

        That much? I don’t know, aren’t those the songs that play on the radio while you drive? I mean, music is an important part of the game that enhances everything about it, not just having a sheer number of songs that sound like 5fm top 40.

            Agree!! Actually the way the music ramps up especially in boss fights when the boss is low on health is absolutely brilliant. I don’t know why more games don’t do that

            December 9, 2013 at 13:19

            It just added to the epicness of the game. It made the boss battles memorable in a game that played out like one massive boss battle!!

    business as usual? no, the show was sooo boring. I have no idea why the canned the live show in favour of that horrid studio show.

    as for the actual awards, well, some i agree with , others not so much. Was kinda hoping that Last of Us would beat GTA5 for GOTY, but not surprised that it didn’t.

      Aye, I think after that shitty rap performance , I knew GTA 5 was going to take it. I like GTA 5, but I don’t think it should have won, but then if you consider who was on the panel (a bunch of retards from Polygon) it makes sense that Last of Us’s title was stolen.

      Let’s be honest, TLoU had a good story but the gameplay was…mediocre. It should have won best storyline, but as an overall game (with its gameplay), it didn’t really do anything special.

      Age Of Empires > Solitaire

      Can’t really compare such different games though. I haven’t played either, so my opinion here is purely objective. You really do need a game per category to win. Overall winner can only be based on sales or opinion. Nothing else.

        Solitaire > Call of Duty

        Technically you can, since “enjoyment” is subjective rather than objective, you can definitely compare the “enjoyment’ you feel between two very different things, and that includes videogames of different genres. For instance, I “enjoy” Elementary more than Blue Bloods. Both are essentially TV series about crime, but one is a drama series focussed on family values whereas the other is an awesome take on Sherlock Holmes. Similarly, I enjoy Judo more than chocolate cake. Two very different entities, yet clearly my enjoyment of each is a matter of my personal opinion – which is wholly subjective.

          Haha. Solitaire > COD. Agreed.
          Yes, but as you say your enjoyment is still your experience, your opinion. That’s my point. It’s subjective and not entirely viable if it’s not at least in the same category. I never said it has to be objective, it just needs to be narrowed down.

          Some people prefer FPS games, others hate it, so it skews things. Each category has its own fans.

    This is what I have against these award shows. It really goes against my logic:

    Best PC game: Gone Home
    Best Xbox game: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
    Best PS game: The last of Us
    Best Nintendo game: Super Mario 3D World
    Best handheld game: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

    Game of the year: GTA V.

    Shouldn’t the game of the year also be the best game on a specific platform? From this logic, GTA V is not available on PC, Xbox, PS, Nintendo or handheld.
