Video Game Awards. To be honest to everyone, this is pretty new to me and never heard that such kind of awards exists until now: Video Game Awards 2009 which will be aired on January 16 @ 9p.m. I never watched any of the previous Video Game Awards so I don’t have any basis for comparisons which are better but now, I have already watched the preview of the Video Game Awards 2009 and let me share my first thoughts about it.

For me, the setting is just the same as any of the other awards night: there’s a stage, there are monitor screens, and lastly, there’s the crowd. Described as the biggest night in gaming by one surprising character in the opening, with special appearances of big names from different industries, first looks and world premieres of the latest and most awaited games, and the awarding of the best of the best in gaming, it really lives up to that description.

For a first time watcher of the Video Game Awards, I was impressed and at the same entertained: in a manner that there’s a comedic speech and two music performances of different genres. What I liked most is the game previews that pretty much gives every gamer a glimpse to the future of gaming. I seldom see and never played games with such excellent graphics as the games previewed. And what I think is wrong is that some games are nominated on inappropriate categories. I am no great game critic but just a gamer sharing my thoughts about this.

To sum it all up, I enjoyed it and will be looking forward to the next Video Game Awards. Well, that concludes my first thoughts on the Video Game Awards 2009 Preview. More power to the Video Game Awards and to all of us gamers.
