my VGA notes

Spike VGAs in 2 minutes, squeeee

New Batman game confirmed, Jack Black won best voice actor

New True Crime game. Because True Crime did so well the last time.

Livestream worked just in time for me to see a trailer for the new Tron game. I came.

Tron trailer ends, Tony Hawks comes out to announce the winner for Best Action Adventure game. I love the VGAs

Assassin's Creed 2 won it. Odd, it beat out uncharted 2 and Arkham Asylum. Didnt see that one coming.


Deadliest Warrior videogame announced. Whatever that is. UP NEXT: SAMUEL L JACKSON ANNOUNCES TE NEW STAR WARS GAME

the UFC 2010 was underwhelming. Oh well, out walks Zach Braff with a cosplaying blonde chick. Harry should be watching this, really.

He's announcing studio of the year. Winner is: Rocksteady Studios. Good choice.

HERES SAMUEL L JACKSON. COME ON, NEW STARS GAME IS...FORCE UNLEASHED 2. DUAL LIGHTSABERS FOR THE 2. AS A FAN OF THE FIRST GAME, I AM HAPPY.

Jake Gylylylylhallneo is on stage, talking about Prince of Persia movie. Showing new clip of it. Definitly looks Prince of Persia, I can really see this movie going well.

Best Team Sports Game. No-one cares about that award. NHL won. Whoop-de-doo.

Exclusive footage of the new Prince of Persia game? Do want. Looks more like a game of the movie, oddly enough, but still, its made by Ubisoft. So I trust it'll be good.

Hugh Jackmen won best preformance by a male (Wolverine Origins) and the game also won best cast. Thats...anti-climatic.

Best indie game, Flower. Never played it, but heard good things. I know for a fact it won a VGA. :P

Live preformance by Snoop Dog. Videogames.

Right, coming up: Crackdown 2 trailer, reveal of who will be in the next Rock Band game. Except the whole Rock Band Green Day trailer released earlier this year probably ruined that. Doh.

Okay, new game reveal. Over the shoulder third person shooter from the looks of it, in a post-war torn city. Looks cool. Spec Ops: The Line.

Best individual sports game. Almost as exciting as best team. UFC 2009.

Crackdown 2 premiere. First was pretty damn good. Second looks...less so. But hey, its still Crackdown.

Snoop Dog announcing best RPG game. Seeing him trying to act gangsta whilst talking wizards is funny. Dragon Age Origins won, thank God. Also collecting "Best PC Game". Well done Bioware, you've blown the gaming world away once again. I applaud you.

Though they ruined me getting happy for Bioware by showing a trailer for Green Day Rock Band. Cheers VGA.

"Best Other winnesr". Megan Fox - Best female. Shadow Complex - Best downloadable. New Super Mario - Best wii. Ballad of Gay Tony - Best DLC. God of War 3 - Most anticipated. They just kinda skipped past those awards to get to the GotY. Ah well.

Footage from new Medal of Honor. Will the king of war games return? Or will it still be in CoDs shadow? Gonna be honest, the trailer showed us nothing new, it seems a lot like CoD4. As in, exact. Disappointing.

Mike Tyson and some people I don't know are having awkward dialogue on stage. And now heres the winner for the best shooter: Modern warfare 2. I didn't even have to wait for them to announce it, its obvious they'd go for the popular choice as opposed to something deserving (It also won best multiplayer, despite L4D2 coming this year. Yeah, its a rehash of L4D, but MW2 is a rehash of MW so...)

More other winners. Best Fighting: SFIV, best handheld: GTA Chinatown, best driving: Forza 3, best soundtrack: DJ Hero, best 360: Left4Dead 2, best original score: halo ODST, best game based off of movie/show: South Park Tower Defence (Lol, ghostbusters and chronicles of riddick were nominated)

Best musicgame presented by: Stevie Wonder. Thats pretty cool. Though he wants games for blind people. Yeah keep dreaming. Winner is Beatles Rock Band.

And now a preformance from the bravery. Then I think we're getting Game of the Year, before the show wraps up. Some good reveals and a fairly predictable award ceremony, an okay way to spend a 2 hours.

Some girl just came on and gushed about Halo being the best FPS ever. Yeah right. Now for a Halo Reach trailer. Saying this as someone who didn't enjoy Halo 1 through 3, I have to say I always liked the trailers. Hence why I played all 3- good trailers. But the trailer for Reach is shit. I mean...REALLY shit. Guess I wont be wasting money on this one.

Jake Gullygullyhall is back? ooo, he's announcing Game of the Year! My vote goes for Dragon Age Origins (despite it not being nominated). Destructoid Poll has Uncharted 2 winning by 50%, lets see if the general public agrees.

And the Spike VGA Game of the Year 2009 is...UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES. Also picked up best PS3 game and best graphics. Not played the game myself, but if it's half as good as Harry says, I'd say that's a fair award.

Well, there you have it, end of the awards for another year. Will post all these posts all together on my blog, as well as show a list of all the winners. Night x.
