E3 Quick Hits

With E3 going on this week, we have decided to just highlight a few games that we think are going to be hits or something that you should look into.

Video Game Award Nominees.

The nominees have been announced for Spike TV's Video Game Awards and the two games with the most nominations are Batman: Arkham City and Portal 2.  Both games are going head to head in the Game of the Year category along with The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. 

Other notable nominees are:
Gears of War 3 for Best Multi-Player game.
Jetpack Joyride for Best Handheld/Mobile Game.
"Exilke Vilify" by The National (Portal 2) for Best Song in a Game.

Head on over to the VGA website to see the list of nominees and vote for Most Anticipated Game and The Gametrailers.com Trailer of the Year. 

The Video Game Awards will air on Spike TV December 10, 2011. Check your local listing for showtimes.

Is anyone else as excited as I am for this game to come out?  I already have my copy pre-ordered and I'm just counting down the days.  Who else is getting this and for what system?
