We know you're on pins and needles, so we'll just come right out and tell you that Spike TV's latest Video Game Awards has lifted up BioShock as the year's best game, with Andrew Ryan's underwater extravaganza besting other notables such as Mass Effect, The Orange Box, and Halo 3. With Samuel L. Jackson once again at the helm, the awards show went down last night at Las Vegas' posh Mandalay Bay, and we imagine is now being carefully outfitted with extreme graphics and Mountain Dew ads for its television broadcast on Dec. 9 at 9PM.
Besides its game of the year nod, BioShock also walked away with awards for being the best Xbox 360 game and having the best original score, making it also responsible for the event's most return trips to the stage.
Now, for the complete list, would you kindly make with the clicking?

I can't believe people are arguing a Spike TV award show, holy crap gamers will Argue anything. This Networks idea of primetime programming has to do with Ex-rappers playing Vampire hunters. Their programming line up sounds like it was written by Conan the destroyer, you can't argue over their freaking award show.

COD4 had a better single-player game than Halo 3?? Are you kidding me? COD4's single player was really short, and while it was indeed fun, it had nothing of the originality and awesomeness of Halo 3's single player. I mean really: skulls, terminals, and 4 player online co-op? Not to mention all the easter eggs like playing the ending sequence on a mongoose or chopper. Same goes for online- COD4 has the nice RPG experience thing, but we all know which we will be playing online in two years from now, and it won't be COD4. Halo 3 is the best shooter of the year in my book.

Halo 3 original?
fail! add chocolate and try again!
Halo 3 is as weak as COD4 SP side because its short and it feels like the game is unfinished!
