It looks like you might just have one more reason to subject yourself to the 2008 Spike Video Game Awards. That
reason is this: the award show will host the very first gameplay footage of
Brütal Legend, which still (criminally) remains without a publisher. As the next game from Tim Shafer's
Double Fine, it's understandable that you might just want to see it in action. In addition to this, the game's star, Jack Black, will be hosting the VGAs in lieu of Samuel L. Jackson, who has traditionally (and bizarrely) hosted the VGAs in the past. As Black is actually a known gamer, we can't say we disapprove of the announcement.
Other sneak peeks that just
might make the event worth watching (or at least skipping through later) include
Terminator Salvation,
Fight Night Round 4,
Watchmen: The End is Nigh,
Mafia II, and a "special
Gears of War 2 announcement" (
new maps, we'd guess).

Actually, this still isn't a reason to watch the VGA. I can just wait a couple hours and view the gameplay on Youtube. Some other masochistic schmuck will watch the show and upload the video for me.
I do agree, though, that Jack Black is a much better choice for the show. Maybe he'll influence it in a way that it won't suck as much.

Ugh... he is terrible. Not funny at all... I'm not sure which would be worse him, or Dane Cook... How bout if you get Chuck Norris to host!

Quite pathetic to not mention GoW III (God of War) and Uncharted II to also have gameplay debut trailers @ the VGAs.
This may be 360 FANBOY, but shouldn't this article go over the VGAs as a whole? Not just the 360 stuff.
