    Last night we were in the United States @ the Video Game Awards, where the best releases of 2010 get some extra attention . Traditionally, the VGA's are also a time for developers and publishers to show why 2011 (or 2012) will be better and looks they went all out this time.


    ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM WAS ANNOUNCED

    The popular and critically acclaimed The Elder Scrolls franchise gets a sequel. It has become a big four years ago that Oblivion, the fourth in the series, was published and. It carries the title The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    Info & trailer

    COMMANDER SHEPPARD RETURNS IN MASS EFFECT 3

    The whole room went crazy when EA announced developer BioWare's Mass Effect 3. They did this with the necessary footage and it should be said that this is a very successful trailer.

    Info & trailer

    FORZA MOTORSPORT 4

    Archrival Gran Turismo 5, only just released in stores but Microsoft and Turn 10 already respond. This offcourse, in the form of Forza Motorsport 4, the successor to the third part that appeared in 2009. Saying it is a completely new announcement is perhaps not quite true. During the Xbox 360 Media Briefing on the last E3 we got to see some images from the game.
    Info & trailer

    RESISTANCE 3

    Playstation 3 owners can rejoyce, because one of their platform-exclusive franchises is back. The existence of 3 Uncharted we told you a few days ago, so this time we are talking about nothing less than Resistance 3, some months ago, a teaser was released. This first-person shooter picks up where it left off in 2008 by Insomniac.
    People who expect better times now an agreement was reached at the climate summit in Cancun, I must disappoint. Resistance 3 presents us with a vision in which mankind increasingly difficult to defend the Earth against the alien Chimaera. Though all hope seems lost, you can buy the game on September 6, 2011 and resist the end.
    Info & trailer

    SSX Deadly decents

    Many will no doubt have fond memories and it is strange that EA waited five years before they announced a true sequel. The bullet is through the church (so we say in belgium) and the fifth game in this popular franchise is a fact. This was announced at Spike's Video Game Awards on the basis of a still rather weird trailer. A release date has not yet been announced.

    I was expecting God of War or Black Ops for Game of the Year.
    I liked the Batman promotion as well as the Prototype 2.

    No idea why RDR and Hot Pursuit got GOY. But I am kinda looking forward to Elder Scrolls V. I had a pretty good bit of fun with Oblivion.

    Everybody is probably going to shoot me for this but i just don't get why starcraft is pc game of the year. Also with all the sequels they should make a comeback game of the year. NFS hot pursuid would be my winner this year

    It could be sequal of the year but there would be too many complications withe a "comeback" game. That would mean they'd have to openly admit the last game was no good and then how are you judging what qualifies? Metacritic? (that'll get some ppl crazy)
