I was sent the following press release for Spike’s 2008 Video Games Awards Show.  Personally, I’m only thrilled to see Jack Black and Will Wright.  I’ll try to keep my schedule free to watch it, hope you can do the same!

Oh, and if you love videogames, they will have world premiers for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, God Of War III, Brütal Legend, Fight Night Round 4, Mafia II, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 2, Watchmen: The End is Nigh, a special Gears Of War 2 announcement and other surprises!
