The Spike TV Video Game Awards did give out awards… but let’s be real, the actual attraction of the show was the various exclusive trailers and teasers that were scattered throughout. Those were the real awards, from a viewer’s perspective at least.
It’s difficult to really narrow it down to one or two of the best, though Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us”, which was captured using real PlayStation 3 generated assets (though not neccessarily in “real time”), was among the highlights. The insane action of the Platinum Games-developed Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was definitely up there as well.
Below is a selection of mostly everything that was presented, including some footage that didn’t make it on live TV. Courtesy of GameTrailers.com.
