The 2009 Spike Video Game Awards

If anyone actually tuned into Spike's VGA's last night, you would have witnessed quiet the show. From the very beginning you knew it was going to rock, seeing as how the show wasted no time on announcing Arkham Asylum 2. It's most likely the Mark Hamill fan in me is telling me how awesome that was. I won't go into too much detail on who won what, but I will link to the results, as well as the World Premiers game websites. There was only one little, itsy, bitsy, teeny, tiny thing that I do not agree with;

Best Voice, the nominees were:

-Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn (Arkham Asylum)
-Claudia Black as Chloe Frazer (Uncharted 2)
-Jack Black as Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend)
-Mark Hamill as The Joker (Arkham Asylum)
-Nolan North as Nathan Drake (Uncharted 2)

The winner was Jack Black, and even though I like Jack Black and everything about Brutal Legend, I honestly thought Mark Hamill should have won. And while I talk about Brutal Legend, why wasn't Tim Curry nominated for Best Voice, I mean, it would have been a tough call for me, but still, Tim Curry would have been a better representative for Brutal Legend.

And while I am at it;

Best Soundtrack:

-Brutal Legend
-DJ Hero
-Rock Band Beatles
-Guitar Hero 5

The way I see it, agree or disagree, Brutal Legend should have won, not because I love the game to death, just because it was not a Music Game. DJ Hero should suck my left sack for not only violating Queen, but for the fact that even Guitar Hero 5's music was better (and GH5 has jack on Brutal Legend)

Now that I have my rant out of the way, I will hold up my end of the bargain, here are all of the World Premiers:
