Spike TV, emittente americana via cavo del circuito Viacom/MTV rivolta ad un utenza giovanile, ha reso pubblica la lista dei suoi annuali Video Game Awards, stilata da più di venti giornalisti videoludici. Per partecipare al concorso la condizione necessaria è che un gioco sia uscito nel periodo compreso tra il 16 novembre 2006 e il 1 dicembre 2007. Senza grosse sorprese, BioShock e Halo 3 fanno la parte del leone. I risultati saranno resi noti il 9 dicembre. In ogni categoria abbiamo contrassegnato col simbolo (!) i giochi che secondo noi hanno più probabilità di vittoria.
