A day later, the company perhaps realized that it wasn't the smartest attention grab, with boss Mike Wilson telling us "the award acceptance they interrupted was the LAST one we would have wanted to interrupt, ("most addictive game fueled by mountain dew" would have been a wonderful choice) as we have the utmost respect and love for BioShock and all who were involved in it, and it totally sucks that Ken Levine didn't get to speak after making such a fantastic game." You can watch the video above to determine for yourself if Gamecock stepped over the line, just be aware: The video features near nudity, because the winners of all the awards were painted on actual naked women.
...No, seriously.

As for the naked ladies thing, no wonder people don't take this seriously. This is disgraceful.

I really like naked women, and I find this ridiculously offensive.

Idiots like Spike TV making us look like Neanderthals.
So do I.
Just don't jump behind any band wagon, spike doesn't see a respected audience they see a demographic which watches their brand of programming. They are not picking these games on quality they are picking them on popularity with their demographic.

Ok, I was expecting a naked lady with a picture of Ken Levine painted on...not of Bioshock.
Still, Classy all the way!

BioShock was hands down the game of the year, weather or not PS3 and Nintendo fanboys are willing to give it any credit. That was a totally classless move by a group of attention whores. Ken and his team deserved better.

The only two games that could have come close were Super Mario Galaxy and Mass Effect.
Assassin's Creed was GOTY material except for the few faults that some people found with it that they decided were major problems...
Orange Box was game of the year.

Seriously? Announcing the winners by body painting their names on women? Wow. Could have fooled me that this was on spike.

I support the idea of Gamecock but that was just in really poor taste.

And as good a guy as Ken Levine may be, BioShock shouldn't be GOTY anyway.
