The 2007 VGA's have come and gone and Bioshock is the big Winner. Call of Duty 4 won best shooter beating out all other Game of the year nominees except Mass Effect(wich won best RPG).
I am glad to see the public polling gone this year in favor of a pannel of industry insiders to prevent Halo 3 from winning Goty by default (Halo 3 won the Dew addictive award chosen by online votes).
COD 4 beating Bioshock in the Shooter catagory and not even being nominated for Goty makes Bioshock a lame duck Goty Imo. Who was in charge of the nominees? The Advertisers?
Not another gamespotgate plz!!!
EDIT:I know few regard the Spike awards as anything other than a 2hr commercial, but with a pannel of judges deciding the winners I felt this was a chance for the VGA's to become a relevant source of reflection for the video game industry.

Anyone else disapointed?
