And The Winners Are...2010 SPIKE VGAs

Vga1

The best of the best in the video game world descended upon Los Angeles last night for the 2010 Video Game Awards and boy, was it a doozy!

No surprise that Halo: Reach won Best Multi-player and Call of Duty: Black Ops took home Best Shooter but the REAL belle of the ball at last night's awards HAD to be Rockstar Games/Rockstar San Diego's "Red Dead Redemption", nominated for nine and taking home a whopping four Vector Monkeys (GOTY, Best Song, Best Original Score, and Best DLC - Undead Nightmare).

The one award that was speculated and much debated last night on the red carpet was Most Anticipated. The Vector Monkey went to Portal 2 (Valve), besting Gears of War 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Bioshock: Infinite. (Was anyone else a little surprised that Dead Space 2 didn't make the cut?)
