Recap: Spike's VGA winners and losers

Spike TV. A television channel aimed at men, young males and is chalk full of action, sex and violence. What a perfect channel to host a video game awards show.

Last night's annual Spike Video Game Awards wrapped up last night with the glitz and glam of a State Fair complete with corn dogs and funnel cakes. Samuel L. Jackson took hosting duties and in between the music and random celebrity appearances they (somehow) found the time to hand out a few video game awards. Among the evening's winners were BioShock who took home three awards including Game of the Year and Best Xbox 360 Game, Halo 3 which won for Best Multiplayer Game and Rock Band was honored with the Best Soundtrack ... beating out Guitar Hero III. Full list of winners, nominees and thus losers is posted after the break and feel free to completely disagree with Spike's VGAs. We raise an eyebrow to a few of 'em.
