Watched Spike TVs VGAs tonight and it was short. I know they skipped some categories and wow, some of the presenters were annoying.
Congrats to
Red Dead Redemption
for getting Game of the Year but
Mass Effect 2
should have gotten it. It has wider appeal and is an almost perfect game.
Black Ops
of course won for best FPS and Woods got Best Character.
There were some cool reveals too. Mass Effect 3 trailer! I saw it and screamed like a 12 yr old girl. It'll be out holiday 2011.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
will be out November 1, 2011 and the teaser trailer looks great!
Portal 2
is coming out and so is
Gears of War 3
. Portal had a teaser as well but nothing about Gears 3. I was following Cliffy B's tweets though. I love that guy. He makes me laugh and he is as snarky as I am.
I think Gary Oldman or Martin Sheen should have won for best male voice. Reznov is a favorite of mine and no one beats the Illusive Man.
There were a few more "reveals" and more winners but they didn't show everything on the show. You can go
here to see everything. They really need a bigger time slot. Looking through it all Red Dead Redemption took a lot of the categories. Some I agree with, others I don't. I'll have to wait and see what other game award shows think.
I picked up
Tomb Raider Underworld
for $8 and am trying to download the DLC. It's really creeping along slowly.
Can't wait for Christmas so I can give the husband
Fallout New Vegas
. I even picked up the
hardback guide
since someone told me it had some great preset characters to try out. I am kind of wishing I had bought the
Collector's Edition
since I saw him looking at it the other day. Maybe I'll find a good deal later, like I did with
Fallout 3
and buy it then. I'll just sell the used one.
