GamePro - Why we hate the VGAs.
The easy answer is: "The show sucks." GamePro Twitter followers had different reasons for the suck -- the jokes fell flat, the musical numbers were out of place, Denise Richards isn't as hot as she used to be, etc. But the real reason everyone hates this show is that it's a show. It's a two-hour block of television designed to entertain audiences and display commercials. Even if Spike hired Pulitzer-winning writers to pen the script and brought Johnny Carson back from the dead to host, most of you would probably still hate it. Because all the things that make the VGAs a show put another wall between you and what you really care about: the games.
