    I would be curious as to how much the winners line up with how much they spent on marketing the game, as this seems to be pretty much the criteria for the VGA. Journey doesn't stand a chance.

    Award shows are dumb in general, but Journey needs to win every award for every category.

    I think its awesome they are throwing a nod to the Walking Dead in there. Non-AAA titles still have a shot in this world!
