VGA 2011 awards

I'm very excited for the VGA awards again, since I'm watching it for three years-- from VGA awards 2008 to 2010. I love the "World Premiere" previews which is classic, it features the upcoming games like; True Crime: HK (cancelled), Mass Effect, Prototype 2 and etc.

But the current VGA is different-- they may say, I hope that they make it look cool. The last VGA awards (2010) is crappy and too short which makes it boring-- although, there are some cool celebs. VGA awards 2011 will feature the top games like Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, BF3, Uncharted 3 and Portal 2 which means it is tight competition as said by the blogger of Game-Modo.

I almost forgot to mention that the trailers are cool.
