While certainly not the bringer of news and excitement as much as the big conventions of the year (such as E3, Gamescom, and the Tokyo Games Show), Spike's Video Game Awards have brought interesting announcements and of course awards every year.

For the surprise upset, The Walking Dead, by Telltale Games, won Game of the Year. Telltale also won Studio of the Year. The list is a bit lengthy, so you can read it all below.
In game announcements, we got two major debuts. First, from the unknown, new, and mysterious developer "Moby Dick Studios" comes "The Phantom Pain". However, prevailing rumors say this game is a ruse, and that the game is in fact Metal Gear Solid V. You can make up your mind and read the evidence here and view the trailer at the source below.
The next game is the sequel to Dark Souls (which was a sequel to Demons Souls), plainly labeled Dark Souls II. Not much was shown outside of a trailer. You can view it here or at the source below.
The Last of Us, the latest project from Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted developer Naughty Dog, has finally gotten an official release date. The game will be arriving on May 7th for the Playstation 3.
There was also brand new trailers for South Park: The Stick of Truth, The Last of Us, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Gears of War: Judgment, Bioshock Infinite, and Tomb Raider. You can view all the trailers (for now) at the AllGamesBeta source.
