2011 Spike Video Game Awards

Hey everyone, the VGAs were yesterday, and as our poll suggested, Skyrim won game of the year! Congratulations to the BGS team!
Skyrim also won best RPG, and BGS won best studio.

The new games announced included:

Epic games new IP: Fortnite. This looks like a game where you must build a fort out of what you can scavenge in the world and then hide in it at night so you arent eaten by zombies.

C&C Generals 2 is being developed by Bioware on the Frostbite 2 engine.

The Last of Us is a new survival/thriller/horror/story game by Naughty Dog.

Im sure there were more, I just forget them.


The awards themselves seemed rigged towards showing what the people who aren't hardcoe enough to care about game awards wanted to hear. But then, hardcoe gamers don't seem to care about these awards anyways.

The show itself svcked ass. The whole thing was geared towards the people watching who don't play any games. Deadau5 was there, I know some people seem to like him, I don't.

Is it just me, or does Fortnite sound a lot like Minecraft?
Glad Skyrim won those awards though. It deserved them in my opinion.
Didn't one of the Bastion's tracks win Best Soundtrack or something? I heard some people whining about how some tracks from Portal 2 should have won when I had a look at Zia's Theme on Youtube.

Fortnite does look a lot like Minecraft, but I think it will do a better job at the survival/bunker part of it.
