If you switch on Spike TV on Sunday, you should first know that the Video Game Awards show hosted by Samuel L. Jackson is not live. The ceremony took place last night and we have all the results for you.
Harmonix took home three awards including Studio of the Year and two awards for Rock Band — not bad considering Harmonix and Spike TV are owned by MTV.
No big surprises, except maybe for Tools of Destruction winning for Best Playstation 3 game. It didn’t even make our top five. The Orange Box also received two awards including Best PC Game.
I’d say the show is definitely still worth watching if you’re a gamer. The show, which took place in Vegas, featured performances by Foo Fighters and world premieres of Borderlands, Gran Turismo 5 and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2
