Well, some pleasant surprises on the VGA streams across the net.

And some unexpected surprises too.

GOTY was Uncharted 2, part of me is glad that MW2 didn't win, might be in due part of my PS3 fanboyism, or partly because I think the CoD series on the whole seems incredibly over-rated.

Force Unleashed 2. Not sure what to think of this one. The ending of the first one was pretty clear, and (without saying too much to those not played it to the end) "conclusive", so a second game seems like a curious prospect. Still, if it follows the mold of recent video game sequels, the next one should be everything the first game should have been and more :P

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands. The trailer looks very "meh", they invent a whole new art style for the next-gen iteration of the series, then go back on it completely to last-gen's semi-realism stuff, with time manipulation returning over Elika's magiciness. I'm not that stoked about this, because I liked the arty style of the last PoP game, not to mention the story. Disappointing.

Spec Ops: The Line. Looks beautiful, set in Dubai that's either post-apoc, or suffering from a very big sand storm, the gameplay looks beautiful, despite a bit of a 3rd person standard shooter fare in style. Not really payed any attention to the Spec ops series so far, but this one's definitely caught my eye.

Halo: Reach. Footage was of some in-game cut-scene, no gameplay, looks like ODST+, not that I care about the Halo series, but this didn't inspire one bit.

Arkham Asylum 2. "The Asylum has moved", interesting, shots were of the Joker and Harly in some sort of fun fair, looks creepy, I hope it's set in Gotham city, but it's vague.

True Crime 2. Please god, say it aint so! The first one was bad enough :P
