2008 Video Game Awards
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:
