This year’s Video Game Awards hosted by Spike Tv launched nine World Premieres for new video games or video game add-ons. Here’s the recap:

Gears of War 2 Combustible Map Pack: This map pack had three maps that each looked amazing.This is now available for download through Xbox Live!

1. Flood: In this map, you have to get to the high ground and quick, because the walls will close in on you before you know it!
2. Gold Rush: This is a great multi-level map and provides lots of shooting fun.
3. Fuel Station: This is an objective-based map that requires that you secure the facility. Head for the high ground for the best shooting point.

UFC 2009 Undisputed: I’m not much a boxing game person, but the graphics and play looked good.

God of War: This game looked interesting, too early to say whether it’s a rent or buy.

Rock Band 2: Pearl Jam’s album, 10 will be available soon as downloadable content! Pearl Jam fans of the world, unite!

Dante’s Inferno: I have actually read The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri years ago. This game really does a great job of bringing Dante’s words to life. I will be honest however, I can’t tell from the preview of the main character is breaking out of the nine levels of hell, or breaking in. It doesn’t really matter, I’ll still put it in my Gamefly queue!

Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned: This newest installment in the Grand Theft Auto series will really appeal to fans of the FX show, Sons of Anarchy. In this game, you are part of a biker gang, doing the regular Grand Theft Auto style fighting, stealing and etc.

Brutal Legend: This game boasts the voice talent of Jack Black, who stars as the roadie who fights his way to the top. I’m not sure what I think about this game yet. It looked kinda dumb from a storyline point of view. The graphics looked pretty good, but as any gamer knows, graphics aren’t enough to save a game. I could be wrong, we’ll see after it releases.

Fight Night, Round 4: This game looked really cool. I am not a boxing game person, but I want to play Tyson vs. Ali. That is a fight I could get into!

Terminator: Salvation: This game is based on the upcoming movie of the same name starring Christian Bale as John Connor. Personally, I felt that this was a game that should have been released a few years ago! This game looked really good and the graphics looked great as well.

Mafia 2: This game is based in the 1950s and is a action-shooter. I couldn’t tell much about the storyline in the trailer shown, but the graphics were some of the best I have ever seen.

Watchmen: The World is Nigh: This game looked like your typical “based off of a movie” game. I am not really a big fan of games made after movies, the graphics usually aren’t that great, the storyline is redundant and it’s just not that fun to play. If you don’t believe me, start watching G4TV’s “XPlay“. Adam Sessler (who is the nicest person!) and Morgan Webb have a lot to say about them and it’s typically not good!

Those were all the World Premieres and I am most excited about the Gears of War 2 map pack, Pearl Jam’s album release for Rock Band 2 and Dante’s Inferno.

What do you think will be the next big game?
