2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards Recap

Who Won the Most Prestigious Honors at VGAs?

Jake James
The 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards opened with host Neil Patrick Harris, who voiced Spider-Man in "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions" earlier this year, entering the stage singing and dancing as if it were the Tony Awards. Luckily for all involved he swiftly pulled out dual assault rifles and mowed down his back up dancers and started the show.

The VGAs were like any other award show in the history of award shows. They were too long, drawn out, not funny, and ultimately a snooze fest. There was one highlight however, throughout the show Spike TV did reveal a multitude of exclusive upcoming game trailers such as Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Mortal Kombat featuring Kratos from God of War, Portal 2, Prototype 2, Mass Effect 3 and several more. Head on over to GameTrailers to see them all.
