NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Spike TV today announced the creation of its first ever Video Game Hall of Fame Award. This annual honor will recognize the most memorable and innovative video game franchises in history. The inaugural recipient, “The Legend of Zelda,(TM)” is one of the most influential and beloved gaming franchises of all time. The legendary series will take its rightful place as the first entry into the Video Game Hall of Fame, with a special tribute at the 2011 “Video Game Awards” (#VGA) – the network’s ninth annual live televised event to celebrate the best in games. Telecasting from Los Angeles, CA and featuring some of the most notable names in video games, Hollywood, music, sports and more, the two-hour event honoring the outstanding achievements within the video game industry over the past year will premiere LIVE on Spike TV, MTV 2 and Spike.com on Saturday, December 10 at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT.
“The ‘VGAs’ always celebrate the best games of the year and previews the future with world premieres,” said Casey Patterson executive producer of the “VGAs” and executive vice president of event production for Viacom Media Networks Entertainment Group. “Now our Video Game Hall of Fame will recognize the game franchises throughout history that have brought the industry to where it is today.”
“It is only natural to start with ‘Zelda,'” said Geoff Keighley, executive in charge, publisher relations, Spike. “‘The Legend of Zelda’ is a franchise that inspired many of us to see the potential of games when it debuted 25 years ago, one that has successfully transitioned from one game console generation to the next and has continually shown the narrative and artistic potential of the medium.”
“All of us at Nintendo are truly honored to have ‘The Legend of Zelda’ as the first inductee into Spike’s Video Game Hall of Fame,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales & marketing. “As we mark the 25th anniversary of the ‘Zelda’ series, we look forward to the December 10th ‘VGA’ event as a very special way to celebrate with fans and SPIKE viewers around the globe.”
The 2011 “Video Game Awards” will feature world premieres of the most anticipated games of 2012 and beyond. In addition to the previously announced exclusives debuts of BioWare’s next project, the next “Alan Wake” game and “Metal Gear Solid: Rising,” this year’s viewers will get the first look at footage from “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots,” “Transformers: Fall of Cybertron” and Most Anticipated Game nominee, “BioShock Infinite.” Additional exclusives will be announced in the coming weeks.

Am I the only one exited for the new trailer for MGS rising?
Transformed
Time to make a note on the calendar. I guess we'll know on the 10th if Mr. Welker will be voicing Megatron or not *crosses fingers*.
Arcee 69
Whooptee doo! And before you know it, it will be in he discount/used bin. And nobody will care a couple weeks after it's released. Just like every other game.
CodeXCDM
…do I have to watch that atrocity of an "award show" to see the trailer? =.
Seriously… the show is just a bunch of ads for the big name companies to claim more "awards" for their triple-A titles. Oh and Jersey Shore trash will be there according to their site… Yea, definitely wanna see Fake Jersey Italians in a game show. *facepalm* Course how many of those celebrity guests do you think even give a rats about gaming?
Nah… Spike VGA is all about flashiness. Oh and lining their coffers behind-the-stage so that your games get mentioned, possibly even to win.
Shizuka
Well it's a "reveal" so I don't expect gameplay.
I'm going to be really negative and say we'll get a cinematic that looks cool but is far from the finished product as in the case of WfC we got no good melee system as shown by Optimus and no good cover implementation as shown by Bumblebee.
Heck I wouldn't be surprised it it wasn't just about Grimlock rather than a cinematic narrated by Optimus.
SPLIT LIP
Yes please.
Ra88
That is exactly my problem, we HAVE seen a lot of the game already. Because of that the trailer won't have the same impact as it would have if it was the first thing shown after the cover. Yeah, it will be a total geekgasm if we see the Dinobots and Bruticus in the trailer, but wouldn't it have been a lot better if they were revealed in a cinematic trailer, before we got to find anything else out? And THEN telling us all about it after, and wrapping it up with a gameplay trailer?
DroidsBane
first there will be the wait for the trailer then the long wait for the actual game.
biscuits
…Halo 4 trailer please? Also FOC ftw.
Autovolt 127
Oh cool!
Thenames9
So I guess this will be the video that appears before the game, like the one in WFC?
Starscream NZ
I disagree. We've seen a bunch of "how we're doing this" clips/interviews – now it's time to see some proper footage/trailer material. It's saving the best for last.

Looking foward to the trailer man!!!
Ra88
About time. It should have been the start of the media preview campaign, not the climax of it.
