The Winners Of The Spike TV VGA's
Credit Pacific Service Union Spike TV may be busy heavily promoting their Video Game Awards show for its air time in December, but it turns out that the whole affair already came to a close yesterday when the event was taped at the Gibson Ampitheatre in Los Angeles.
As was expected, the show was a hotbed of movie stars and singers praising the winners of categories which were voted on by both industry veterans and Spike TV viewers. Samuel L. Jackson served as the MC and many stars such as 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg (last year's host), Carmen Electra, The Rock, Vin Diesel, and Carson Daly made appearences.
As for who were the big winners, World of Warcraft took home the most awards for Best Multiplayer Game, Best PC Game, Best RPG, and Most Addictive Game Fueled by Mountain Dew. Another big winner was the critically acclaimed action horror game from Capcom, Resident Evil 4, which won the coveted Game of the Year award as well as the award for Best Graphics.
Despite all the efforts to streamline the awards show, it seems as things still aren't going perfectly as was apparent when a significant portion of the audience headed for the doors after Missy Elliot made a climactic performance, before the final Game of the Year award was even presented. Awards for Best Gaming Publication, Best Gaming Website, and Best Gaming Blog were not announced at the show.
