Face it,gaming is in the same league as movies and music when it comes to entertainment,if not bigger.An example would be the release of Halo 3 last year,which grossed over US$170 mill on opening day,far surpassing the record set by The Dark Knight.A more recent example would be James Cameron's Avatar.It's a pretty well-known fact that the director plays World of warcraft,and it shows in the movie.Night-elf like Na'Vi,the world tree,floating islands,it's all reminiscent of the popular MMORPG.
So a glitzy awards show attended by big name celebs should be an option.Though it lacked it merit,the Spike TV VGAs is still one of the biggest.Several big announcements were made at the event,namely the revealing of a sequel to Star Wars:The Force Unleashed,Arkham Asylum and also Green Day:Rock Band.Trailers to Halo:Reach,the new Prince of Persia movie,Crackdown 2 and True Crime,this time in Hong Kong.And once the dust settled,the winners were revealed.
Drumroll please...

Not a lot of surprises there,though the awards based on movies were pretty questionable.In fact,the whole genre is laughable.Movie tie-up games have not been known to be any good,and the existence of the awards are most probably just to have an excuse to invite the starlets of Hollywood and lend the show more viewer ratings.
