COD:MW2 Does not win Game of the Year

Its with great satisfaction and with a nice smile (big smiles don't happen after yer team gets reamed at home by a team with the word 'Arse' in it) that i heard today that COD:MW2 did not win game of the year. I think this was a console award but hey ho - it still hurt them.

One of the comments I heard was that IW staff looked 'puzzled' when they didnt win....I would love to see footage of that - the IW team who so dilligently went about the task of upsetting the PC community...looking upset fantastic.

I think personally its the best way for them to end the year - lets see BFBC2 and MOH rebourne take over the mantle of FPS early next year and then watch COD MW3 go straight to console.

Anyone who has video of the IW team looking peeved after not winning the award please upload

money isn't everything - i think in this day and age kudos is very important for a development company...something that infinity ward used to have in buckets...now they dont have enough to fill a bucket!

The fact that they were there and that they thought they were going to win it and didn't is enough for me. I firmly believe that there will be one or more executives at the IW offices today finding something to put in the empty space they had made on Friday for this award.

LOL, I am smiling - yeah I paid 34.99, game was OK (although its got the longevity of me wotsit when confronted by drew barrymore naked!) - don't believe the amount of hype around it - I love games...all games....I just don't like the cash cow, marketing side of it all which Activision seem to be focused on.

Actually they did mug me digitally, they palmed off a sesame street version of a game that already exists.

I am a geek therefore vitriol is a part of my daily routine.....it made me smile is all.
