Black's appearance as host is almost certainly timed to work with some world premiere game footage of the long delayed Double Fine title Brutal Legend (Black is one of the voices in the game). Other games that will have new footage shown at the event include the game adaptations of the movies Terminator Salvation and Watchmen. New footage will also be shown of Mafia II, the Illusion Softworks open world crime action game that we haven't seen in a long time in any form. More surprise announcements are supposedly in the works. As we have previously reported, Sims and Spore creator Will Wright will receive the first ever "Gamer God" award from Spike TV at the event.

Sounds absolutely WRETCHED. Black is one of the most obnoxious personalities in pop culture and has already ruined my anticipation for Tim Shaffer's next game. I would say that he is now ruining the spike awards but they were ruined as soon as the idea was hatched. Really... REALLY... legit gaming websites like this need to stop reporting on the spike awards in any way shape and form because it only lends them credence when they have none and helps to legitimize the pathetic pageantry that it repents.
