Did you forget? The Spike Video Game Awards are tonight and will include some very special guests. Not only is Jack Black hosting the show, but there will be new trailers for some of our most anticipated 2009 titles. While the awards themselves may not excite you, perhaps the chance of seeing some footage of
Watchmen, Brutal Legend, God of War III and
Uncharted 2 will get you to tune in at 9PM EST tonight on Spike.
If you're based in Europe then chances are you'll be asleep for the show, but Gametrailers will have all the trailers up for you to see when you wake up in the morning. 2008 hasn't ended yet and already the hype for some of 2009's biggest games has begun in earnest. We love it.

I will be asleep, and will watch all the trailers tommorow without any un-necessary celebrity related interruptions.

I will not be watching Spike for their (who spent the most money to "earn" these) awards. I do however rely on PS3Fanboy to keep me updated! I expect you guys to post the videos here and have a in depth analysis to go along with it. Don't let me down!

I pretty much agree.
Spike's categories are SOOOOooo uninspired.
Wheres the "best original design" or "most creative game"...
instead we get "best actress/actor in a video game"

I will be watching the Giants/Cowboys football game instead. Trailers can wait 'till later.

Three finals this week -> no TV for me.
fade2blac @ Dec 15th 2008 2:52AM
But you have time for gaming blogs?
doc j @ Dec 15th 2008 3:05AM
Gaming blog takes like 10 minutes and is a great study break. It's a hotkey away, and I don't even have to leave the coffee shop.
Spike VG Awards are some untold number of hours. Very different time commitment we're talking about here.

I wonder why no one is mentioning the time zone. Anyway it's 9 pm Eastern Time.
benny boy @ Dec 14th 2008 4:46PM
How about in the UK (GMT).
Brandon @ Dec 15th 2008 11:03PM
The show starts in 4 hours. So it will be 2:00 am in London when it starts.
lee @ Dec 14th 2008 4:50PM
In the UK it will be 2AM :(
anyone know roughly how long it will last?
i could go sleep now then wake up and watch it
bobrez @ Dec 14th 2008 4:50PM
Well EST +5 = GMT.
So in UK the show is at 2 am.
Frederique @ Dec 14th 2008 5:22PM
In France, the show will be at 3am. But I don't think the most interesting games will be showed at the beginning of the show...

Always be wary of sites that download components to your machine, but cannot get the basics right...

HELL YES!!
Also - please refrain from using that picture. I know I'm the only one saying this... and I'm sure many disagree and agree with me.. but it really is getting old.
I think you've used this picture on... 4... 5 articles so far? Lol :p
tmontana213 @ Dec 14th 2008 8:20PM
There better be GAME PLAY footage of God of War III!
CsMisi @ Dec 15th 2008 9:51AM
Well, I'm european, I'm wake, and I don't see any trailers. Still, thanks you tube, I saw the trailers for U2 and GoW3. GoW3 seems spectacular, U2 ... not much spoiled, no gameplay seen ...
Dahk @ Dec 15th 2008 4:37AM
I hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone waiting for PS3F coverage (if there is?), but anyway:
I actually wished there was more CG non-gameplay-type scenes. I wanted to peer and gaze into the insanely high-def eyes of Kratos, and be frozen solid in awe like I was hit by Medusa's gaze. Instead, there's some cool stuff, some very neat details, but mostly a very non-polished washed out feel to it. Kratos's voice is as cool as always though. Oh and Drakes was definitely amazing.
