Wow. So the VGA's happened last night, and anybody that's remotely interested in gaming news has probably heard by now - 2011 is going to be insane. With Portal 2, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Elder Scrolls V, Forza 4, Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Dragon Age 2, Twisted Metal, Last Guardian and Gears of War 3... it's looking like many of us are going to go broke just trying to keep up with everything.
As I've said previously, I'm not exactly a fan of televised video game anything, because it seems that the people producing the material have no idea what really appeals to gamers. While the VGAs had some gimmicky and annoying bits about them last night, they were certainly better than years before, primarily because a lot of the content skewed towards gaming more than it has in the past.
Anyway, before all of this insanity happened, the GamerSushi dudes got together to record a podcast and make some predictions. We thought it'd be cool to post just after, so you can fact check us against everything that happened. Here's the list of official VGA 2010 winners if you're interested. Beyond the VGA's, we play another one of Nick's awesome games and even talk about the reveals of Uncharted 3 and Mass Effect 3.
Hopefully you guys enjoy our goofy rantings. Once again, please go rate this cast on iTunes and subscribe with the handy links to the right. Enjoy!
