Spike’s 2009 VGA took place last night, and it had quite a year to sift through, what with all the Modern Warfaring, Uncharted Theivery and Gay Ballads.
The top game and graphics of the year went to the PS3′s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, while XBOX got best DLC for Ballad of Gay Tony and best original score for Halo: ODST.
Nintendo…not so well.
Also notice that a UFC game won a best sports title. Fitting, as UFC airs on Spike, creator of the awards.
In the Bros’ opinion , it is a sin that the list below is devoid of any Demon’s Souls. A sin.
