GTA4 is tops and World of Goo is Fueled by Dew at the Spike TV Videogame Awards

Brutal_Legend_trailer.jpgIf you missed the Spike TV Videogame Awards, congratulations on retaining a little dignity as a videogamer. If you care, Evil Avatar has assembled a list of the various winners so you don't have to page through the Spike TV site category-by-category. To cut to the chase, Grand Theft Auto IV won game of the year and World of Goo won the "Fueled by Dew" award for best independent game, sponsored by Mountain Dew.

But the real reason to tune in was the see various teaser and trailer premieres, all of which are now online. Here's the selection:

* A very short teaser for Uncharted 2: Among Theives.

* Dante's Inferno, a new franchise from EA which seems to consist of 90% concept art and 10% pushing down a demon and sticking a cross in his head.

* Some generic looking bad-guy whacking in the upcoming Watchmen tie-in.

* A great trailer for Brutal Legend (pictured above), which looks like it'll do a double fine job of combining the talents of Tim Schafer and Jack Black.

* In the Fight Night Round 4 trailer, I didn't see hide nor hair of a Burger King logo, so no telling what happened there. Did Electronic Arts lose the Burger King license?

* Terminator Salvation trailer.

* The Mafia II trailer says zero about gameplay, but tons about tone.

* Cole from Gears of War 2 enthusiastically explaining three new maps now available for ten bucks. Only the map with the rising water gimmick seems to warrant that sort of enthusiasm. As for the ten bucks, well, that seems the going rate these days for the least little thing.

* A trailer that killed any enthusiasm I had for Rockstar's The Lost and Damned downloadable add-on for Grand Theft Auto IV. Hoo boy.

* About twenty seconds of uninspiring God of War III footage.
