Spike Video Game awards

In 25 days (as of this post) Spike TV will be hosting the Spike Video Game Awards 2010 Featuring several "best of" categories that you can check out on their horribly designed and painful to look at website.

Also, Bioware will announce their next big game during a commercial, for which they have released a teaser for:

Also Dave Perry is sending out Beta invites to his Gaikai streaming video game service. Im wary of how well these will work, but if they do, it will probably eventually lead to the biggest change in video games any of us have ever seen. Here is a summary/advertisement of that service:

Gaikai is a cloud-based gaming technology that allows users to play major PC and console games like Call Of Duty or World Of Warcraft instantly, with one click. No download or install required.
This technology powers a next-generation video game advertising network that drives sales for video game publishers, developers, retailers, and affiliates via online demos of games and software applications. Users are presented with an offer to try the game or app before buying it, therefore giving them hands-on experience with the product right at the point-of-sale.

Instant access

Gaikai is driven by a simple mission: make as many games available to as many people on as many devices as possible, easily and instantly.
Gaikai requires nothing more than a standard web browser with ubiquitous plugins like Flash or Java

Gaikai requires no special hardware or extra computing power. Rather, it can run premium 3D games on something as lightweight as a netbook or smartphone.

There's nothing to download or install -- games are instantly playable with a single click

Its nice to see Dave Perry actually release a product. We'll see how it works.
