Brutal Legend, God of War III set for Spike VGAs

Three years ago, Jack Black won a Spike TV Video Game Award in the category Best Performance By A Human - Male for his work on Ubisoft's adaptation of King Kong. In his acceptance speech, Black made sure to thank "all the people of the B******* Academy."

It appears the B******* Academy doesn't hold a grudge, given that Black has been tapped to host the cable network's 2008 gaming awards show. What's more, he'll be bringing along a gameplay trailer for Brutal Legend, the much-anticipated Double Fine Productions game that stars Black as rock-band roadie Eddie Riggs.

Brutal Legend was among a slate of Vivendi Games projects dropped in May after the publisher finished its merger with Activision. Although most of the big-name abandoned projects have since found homes, Brutal Legend remains without an announced publishing deal.

In addition to the first glimpse of Brutal Legend gameplay, Spike is promising to premiere looks at nine other upcoming games, chief among them the PlayStation 3 debut of Kratos in God of War III. Other games to be shown include the just-announced Uncharted 2, Fight Night Round 4, Mafia II, Terminator Salvation, and Watchmen: The End is Nigh.

Spike TV's 2008 Video Game Awards will air live on Sunday, December 14, at 9 p.m. Eastern (tape delayed on the West Coast).

    xXDiabolicXx ,no offense,but the FF series is made by Squaresoft.Where as God Of War is made in house by sony,so there is no one to betray.Sorry I don't see sony letting this trilogy of there console anytime soon.

    All you ps3 tards that are bragging about how the 360 will never get gow3, have obviously never heard of what sony gave to us 360 owners yet. Final Fantasy XIV, a very loyal playstation title, was recently added to the soon to be 2010 360 game collection. So if u all believe a mere trilogy couldn't make its way to the xbox, think about the 13th continuation of the hottest RPG on the market to betray its former "exclusive" owner

    If You played GOW one and heart about The Wings (they were in the drafts of the game, but never made the final cut), they are visible (im not saying usable) in the 6th (and so far last) Gameplay shot on the GOW3 Page, and they looking goddamn awesome, hopefully they make it this time.

    The only game that looks interesting to me is Brutal Legend. At least someone out there is making an original game.

    I doubt that any game can look 10x better then every game out so far. There's only so much a game can do to look good and we're about at the peak of graphic technology for video games.

    For those of you wondering about the graphical limits of the PS3, check out God of War 3. If its graphics aren't better than any game's out so far, the PS3 is a graphical failure. But no worries, because it's gonna have 10 times better graphics than anything out so far.
