Live Blogging: Spike TV’s 2011 Video Game Awards

Posted on December 10 2011 (08:00 PM EDT)

Spike TV’s annual video game awards are in full swing, and we’re live blogging the winning results.

The show is an absolute disaster that appears to have been produced by someone with a severe case of attention deficit disorder. It’s nothing more than a 2-hour commercial with 10 seconds of awards. Case in point: 9:06pm, 15 awards given out in 30seconds via 2-3 second blurbs.

Either way, the show is over and the overall summary of the awards are available after the break.
