    Racing Spectrum

    On my PS3, I have two demos that run the complete spectrum of the racing genre. I downloaded the GT5 Academy last night and I have a code to try the ModNation Cart Racing demo.

    GT5 Acedemy is tough! I'm all over the place, even in the tuned version of the Z! A true racing SIM (Forza is an arcade racer compared to this!)

    I'll check back in with my impressions of ModNation.

    Spike's 2009 VGAs

    Raw reaction from the Spike 2009 VGAs.

    7:53 Ad on Spike for the VGAs. Wow, this could be cool. Is anyone else seeing lots of Snoop these days?

    8:00 I loved the Joker in Arkham Asylum (Mark Hamilton)! NEW BATMAN YES!

    8:05 Nice looking stage model. Jack Black a funny individual, never get tired of him.

    8:08 True Crime. Hmm…3rd person action/driving. Could go up against GTA5 in 2010/11. Time for another beer.

    8:12 I want to see Avatar (in IMAX of course). Got to rent Inglorious Bastards this week.

    8:14 Tron. A childhood movie that has always been amazing to me. Tron game, yes please.

    8:17 Best Action Adventure game award goes to: AC2 (tough competition between AC2, B:AA and U2). AC2 is my personal pick for GotY 2009.

    8:22 Jersey Shore cast to come later!? NOOO!!!

    8:29 Sam Jackson and a new Star Wars? BAMF'er!! Great Pulp Fiction reference, Sam! The Apprentice is back! I really enjoyed the first game, looking forward to this sequel.

    8:34 A dating commercial during a video game award show, of course…

    8:37 Cheerleaders!!!! Love cheerleaders.

    8:42 PoP game footage. Why do they all show CG footage? I need gameplay!!!!

    8:50 Olivia Wilde, love this chick! Flower was a great game and I have enjoyed both of ThatGameCompany's PS3 releases.

    8:53 Snoop!!

    9:00 First hour done. Pretty good show, great new footage and announcements, funny one-liners and hot ladies. Let's see how the rest of the show goes.

    9:03 Spec Ops world premiere, this looks very cool (music by Bjork??). Nice.

    9:04 Steve A. Smith, nice! Good riffs by SAS! If Tiger wins Best Individual Sports game…wow.

    9:08 Beer time.

    9:09 Crackdown one of my fav games ever. Skydiving! Ugh, zombies. Not again. Oh cool weapons. I would like to blow */$% up with you!

    9:14 I really think the Gamefly commercials are great! Oh, and I just bought a BK $1 card.

    9:15 Best RPG, a category dear to me: Winner DA:O, no surprise here. Great game all around!!!

    9:18 Rock Band Green Day, snore.

    9:25 MoH looks nice, if familiar.

    9:28 Oh jeez. Two train wrecks. Mike Tyson and the cast of Jersey Show. Holy crap. I think the world just blew up. CoD is going to walk away with this one. Yep, as predicted.

    9:36 Wonder what Stevie has to say (pun intended). Great message about disabled gamers. This has been a prominent topic on the HotSpot.

    9:44 Halo: Reach coming up, could this be the most hyped game ever? Discuss amongst yourselves.

    9:49 Halo: Reach – Open world? Spartans are back. Okay, I'm up for this.

    9:52 GotY Award: Come on AC2! What a stacked year! Uncharted 2, AC2, B:AA, CoD: MW2 and L4D2. Oh, Uncharted 2 is the winner! Definitely a worthy winner of the GotY award!! Congrats Naughty dog!!!!

    9:56 Good show, going to tune in next year!!!
