The winners of Spike TV’s Video Game Awards 2011 have recently
been announced. Currently in its eight year, the VGA honors some of the
best games across different categories.
As some of you may have guessed and wished for, The Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim won the Game of the Year award at this year’s VGA. Considering
the fact that it was against formidable rivals such as Batman: Arkham
City, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Portal 2 and Uncharted 3:
Drake’s Deception, that is quite a victory. But that wasn’t the only
