Spike TV doesn't seem to care about giving video games awards, as many of the 2011 awards given out at the misleadingly-titled Video Game Awards were given off-screen, or before the show actually began. The broadcast itself was filled with terrible jokes, B-list celebrities, and embarrassing moments. I'm curious to find out if anyone was able to get through it with their sanity intact, and I'm not exactly sure why Charlie Sheen was there at all. At one point, a grown man was tea-bagged for an extended period of time. To pick an even geekier nit, someone else drank a blue potion to restore health. They don't make a face big enough for that palm.

I'm probably being too hard on the show, though, as the crass bits were clearly written by someone who seems to hold games and the people who play them in contempt. The show's real purpose is to market new games, and the new trailers, announcements, and content on display was often exciting. Let's take a look at the best trailers and video from the show.
