So, Microsoft's XNA Game Studio was finally released on the 11th. Am I the only one who doesn't care? I suppose it's good for those looking into the game creator career, but I really couldn't care less about it myself.

But I do have to say I've been eying the "XNA Racer" game. You can check out a short clip of the game at the page for XNA on GameTrailers. Check out the 'Games Montage' video. You can see the clip of the XNA Racer at the very end of the video. I want to play it, seems pretty fun.

Moving along, Spike TV's VGA (Video Game Awards, if you've been living under a rock) aired last night. I TiVo'd it and just finished watching it (commercial free, I might add. I love you DVR!) and wasn't really impressed, but not necessarily disappointed either. The only thing I really liked about the show was Samuel's jacket at the very end of the show. That thing was tight!

If you didn't catch it, the awards went like this:

Game of the Year: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

And of course, the game of the year: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Gears of War was nominated for the GOTY, how it lost to Oblivion leaves me oblivious.

I still want Sam's jacket.

Also, just yesterday the Xbox Live Arcade released another new game to the list. AHMG WAT GAM/?? Assault Heroes. Yes folks, just 800 points will get you the latest release on the XBLA. Hoopah.

Whuuzay! What? Yes. Ahem.

I sent in Saint's Row back to Gamefly and my next game is flying back to me. What game is it?? I don't know. To tell you the truth it hasn't shipped yet. I just thought it would sound good to say that. jajajaja. I have Rainbow Six: Vegas on the top of my list right now. So I guess we'll find out tomorrow, shall we?

And if you haven't noticed it's a tad past 2AM right now. Yay for insomnia!
