Skyrim is 2011's Game of the Year while Portal 2 is the Biggest Winner

skyrim gets game of the year awards in spike vga 2011

Spike TV's annual Video Game Awards (VGA) has recently ended and the winners of 2011 have also been announced. Portal 2, as we know it, is indisputably one amazing, amazing game of puzzles and interesting challenges unique to others. True to its wonderful predecessor Portal, the second episode bounces away with the most awards, some including Best PC Game and Best Multiplayer. Batman: Arkham City, another big winner (surprisingly), takes away 4 titles including Best Action Adventure, Best Xbox 360, Best Adapted and The Joker as Character of the Year!

However, the ultimate winner who worthily earned the trophy of 2011's Game of the Year as well as Best RPG was none other than Skyrim. I understand that this award can be quite controversial as many believe that Portal 2 should be the one. Both games are perfectly accomplished and both equally deserve the title. However, Portal 2's campaign is, let's admit it, rather too short especially compared to Skyrim, which can easily be hooked on for days and weeks and months. That, I think is the main differential factor. I don't know, what do you think?

Also, what was surprising was that Battlefield 3 and Fifa 12, both from EA, didn't win anything at all! Wow, Fifa 12 was a wonderful enhancement and Battlefield 3, in my humble opinion, is much better than Modern Warfare 3 despite some of its letdowns. How can they not win anything at all?

Facebook and Smartphones With Modern Warfare 3

Since the rise of the likes of Facebook, iPhones and Androids, everything has always been about on-the-go, efficiency, and "social". Social gaming has been the "in" thing recently with various developers competing to find the right, appropriate channel for them to integrate into; and Activision recently explained how they incorporated Facebook and Elite (basically the simultaneous connection where you can can make changes on your account from your mobile application or the website and they will appear in the game itself).

Modern Warfare 3 Gets Pro With Gaming Eyewear

There's the gaming mouses, there's gaming keyboards, there's gaming speakers... and now, there's gaming eyewears! I'm not so sure on whether there was previously such a thing but please bear with me, I've never heard of them.
