Am still combing through various updates and bits of news from last night's Spike VGA awards, where a lot of reveals came through. First up is the first video from the new Medal of Honor, (though the lead guy looks like a hobo that used to live down my street), lot of explosions and looks to be lot of cut scenes, let's see what they eventually come out with from a series that has a long history.

Second up is the Halo Reach, which unfortunately with bad sound and picture, I don't know WTF is even going on, it looks like some bad anime/fan movie. There was an announcement the other day where Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said that Halo Reach will be the biggest game of 2010, hmmm . . . anyways . . .

Also there were mentions of sequels of Batman's Arkham Asylum, (sure to be Shaolin's favourite), and Force Unleashed 2.

If anyone has a link for the full video of the VGA awards would be much appreciated, and if I find it I'll be sure to provide it.

The Halo trailer looks so f*cked up to the point where it's not even funny.

Couldn't they put up a few explosions here and there?

I'm surprised no one's brought up the new Spec Ops game (Spec Ops: The Line) which is set in Dubai. Check out the trailer:

Actually looks pretty good.

Kind of surprised Mark Hamill didn't win, i thought his joker was brilliant in AA. Dragon Age winning was kind of expected, that game is just that good.

@Demonic, thanks for the list!

@Lightning, it was brought up earlier on a separate thread, though I'm really going to wait to see what actually materializes from it!
