So who else watched it on Spike last night? I think it was pretty good, there were some awkward moments, like when 50 Cent was on stage! Otherwise though I got a first look at some of the biggest games coming up. Most notable was Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and the (filtered word), God of War 3, Dante's Inferno and Mafia 2, which left me begging for more. Some of the awards surprised me, Fallout 3 won best RPG game over Warhammer and The World Ends With You. GTA 4 won game of the year, big surprise there right? Here were the other award winners:

Neil Patrick Harris was amazing. I can't believe he actually forgot his card. XD

 

I was shocked GTA won GotY. I guess they can't really step on fanboy toes with that decision. :P

None of them had cards. :P

I watched it for the most part... I haven't played any of the games they mentioned though.

 

I think the UFC guys trying to dance and rap in the background to LL Cool J was a big turn off.

I watched it. I loved the ending where they announced Brutal Legend.

 

Jack Black's just stompin' around with a big flamethrower. "Tim Freakin' Schafer!" *boom!*
