The Spike Video Game Awards sent off 2010's round of gaming with a bang, naming Red Dead Redemption (9.5/10) Best Game of the Year, BioWare the best developer with their superb sequel Mass Effect 2 (10/10) getting Best Xbox 360 Game, Super Mario Galaxy 2 claiming Best Wii Game and God of War Best PlayStation 3 title. Meanwhile, the world-exclusive reveals of brand new upcoming titles were also out in force: Mass Effect 3 was confirmed for Christmas 2011 as a climax to the trilogy, with hero Commander Shephard rallying the forces he chose to make alliances with in previous instalments against the Reapers, now conquerors of a dying Earth; a sequel to PS3 hit Prototype was announced; Forza Motorsport 4 was revealed to hit Xbox 360 solely with both controller-based and Kinect mechanics next Autumn; Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was premiered as a sequel to bestselling Oblivion to be released on 11/11/11 and Batman: Arkham City had a full CG trailer of Dr. Hugo Strange, posing a huge threat to the Caped Crusader in the sequel simply through his words "I know your greatest weakness. You are...Bruce Wayne.". It seems there has never been a better time to be a gamer than 2011, and though the Gears Of War reveal (rumoured to be a Kinect version) was postponed to early next year, the Spike Awards were a massive hit!
