Spike TV Video Game Awards Winners

Spike TV held their Video Game Awards show Friday night and I'm sure you've all been hanging on the edge of your seats for us to print the winners list. Actually, I forgot it was happening and somehow I really couldn't get up the energy to care. Thankfully, the robots at Destructoid never sleep and already went to the trouble of putting this list together so I didn't have to. For those of you who can't wait for the December 13 show date to see the outcome, make the jump for the list of winners. Some highlights appear below... More »

Latest by cmoody17: It seems as though the people who organized this and chose the nominees don't actually play video games. If this was set up by video game nerds/otakus the outcome would be much different. I don't think this is anything to more »
