The Spike Video Game Awards were held over the weekend and one of the benefits of not having unlimited bandwidth is that I wasn’t able to watch it all live because according to the rumours the actual ceremony itself wasn’t very good.
But we only really care about who the winners were and what new games were announced so without further delay the winner of the Spike VGA Game of the Year was
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Which also won best graphics and Best PS3 Game.
I think you will have to look far and wide to find someone who isn’t happy with Uncharted 2 taking GOTY.
Best Wii game went to New Super Mario Bros and Best Xbox 360 game went to Left 4 Dead 2… surprisingly beating out Halo: ODST for that prize and best PC game to Dragon Age: Origins.
The full list of winners is after the break.

I think Batman deserved a little more mention in there, at least Rocksteady won best developers.
