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.

Patrick once saved a drowning dog from an icey pond, so he is probably better than you. 
Gaming and beverages have a wide and varied history, from 7up mascot Spot’s 16-bit adventures, PlayStation’s Pepsi Man and the Donkey Kong Jungle Juice energy drink.

In it, you got [...]
Man, Nintendo certainly had a lot of awesome merchandising back in the day. In game-branded food alone there was Nintendo-themed cereal, mac-and-cheese and fruit snacks.
