From the main site, Jeanne reports on the 2009 Spike TV Video Game awards, specifically the nominees. With easily over twenty awards up for grabs however, let’s concentrate on the most “important” ones:
Game of the Year
- Assassin’s Creed 2
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Left 4 Dead 2
- UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves
Studio of the Year
- Infinity Ward
- Naughty Dog
- Rocksteady Studios
- Valve
Best Music Game
- DJ Hero
- Guitar Hero 5
- LEGO Rock Band
- The Beatles: Rock Band
What are your picks for this year? Given my passion for Valve’s recent work, I’ll let my bias speak for the first two categories: Left 4 Dead 2 and Valve for the win! Oh, as for the Best Music Game, I’ve always doubted the “greatness” of theme-games, so it’s really a contest between DJ Hero and Guitar Hero 5. Given the six-string instrument’s more classic feel, and the fact that I’ve never played DJ Hero, the fifth Guitar Hero installment should win the award.
What about you? What are your picks for this year, biases and all? For the rest of the awards, visit the event page at spike.com.
