Ladies and gentlemen of Gamespot, as an unofficial representative (who is getting paid nothing whatsoever) of the VGA broadcast, it's my pleasure to keep you all on tabs about some major announcements that will take place during the course of the VGAs. I will be updating this blog post accordingly during the live broadcast I am viewing. So for now, here's a couple of tidbits that are news enough. As of 8:40 PM...

8:00 PM EST - Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 is announced (including Mark Hamill adding panache to the announcement)...

8:33 PM EST - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is announced (including DUAL lightsabers)...

8:38 PM EST - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time live action trailer is finally shown on TV (outside of other major streaming websites that have had the trailer for close to a month by now)...

9:18 PM EST - Rock Band: Green Day is announced...

10:59 PM EST - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves acquires Best Graphics, Best PS3 Game, and Game of the Year from Spike TV (yet it isn't in the top 20 sales listing for the year...)
