Here are your 2011 VGA winners and premiere trailers

As the show began there was a glimmer of hope and promise. Zach Levi, star of NBC’s Chuck, seemed genuine and was as passionate about his role as host just as last year’s Neil Patrick Harris was. The intro to the show was done quite well too, with even a nod to the fact that the audience was made up of developers from the various studios. The way in which Zach said, “this night is for you, for the developers,” gave me a slight tingle that this could be the year the show was redeemed. And yet… here we are… *sigh* And what’s worse is that between all the countless jokes, puns, trailers, and premieres, the award show aired only about 4 actual awards on stage. Talk about pathetic. So if you wanna know who won just hit the jump. — More after the break!

Metal Gear Solid Rising trailer leaks ahead of VGA premiere -- (Video)

It’s literally been years since we last saw or heard of Raiden and his own game, Metal Gear Solid: Rising. And today’s Video Game Awards were meant to break the silence and show off what Kojima’s been up to all this time. Well, leaks ruin plans but sometimes they make the hype all worth it. Is this a case of the latter? With the reveal of Platinum Games studios involvement it would seem so.

Newell: Fight piracy by offering better service than what pirates are downloading

In the world of gaming there’s not always a clear cut way to make money. Our time today is much different than decades past where ones could simple cash in on a quick side-scroller for kids to play. DLC, piracy, free-to-play models, and expansions have changed the way developers make and lose money. But one studio in particular seems to have figured out the in’s and out’s of what makes consumers tick, as well as the best means to fight against the losses incurred by piracy. We’re talking about the one and only Valve, headed by Gabe Newell. — More after the break!

Anonymous uses skills to attack and release usernames of those involved in pedophile network

Alright, so we all are aware that Anonymous hasn’t always used their Justice League-type skills in the most wisest fashion possible — like that ill-concieved attack on Sony which brought PSN service to a screeching hault for almost an entire month. Yeah, well like many superheroes who need time to developy their crime fighting skills, Anon has finally found an outlet to show off its muscle, taking down the scum of the internet down; pedophiles and their innumberable underground sites and networks. — More after the break!

Auto-Correct Love Song - (Video)

Texting used to be pretty simple back when it was all based on the Multi-Tap system — y’know, having to press 1 to get the letter a, and then pressing 1 twice to get the letter b? Archaic technology, yes. But with predictive and auto-spell features taking over the smarphone world, it’s quite easy to relate to the Auto-Correct Love Song.

Study: wasting time online helps productivity in the work place

Not all of us have a job that let’s us waste time. But then there are those who are lucky enough to sit behind a computer all day instead of working in the unrelenting sun.

For these priviledged few getting some legitimate work can be hard, especially with Facebook, Twitter, news sites, flash games, and Reddit away at just the click of a button. 

Well, according to a recent study you don’t have to feel bad about your “time wasting” online, since it actually produces more productive employees. — More after the break!

First look of Dr. Strange and Nemesis gameplay in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - (Video)

So we get our 4th Resident Evil character but Mega Man still didn’t make the cut? That’s some shady stuff there Capcom! Either way, Nemesis looks like he’s a combo between Sentinal and Hulk, and Dr. Strange appears to be a little more versatile, being able to juggle, teleport, and throw down some pretty practical super’s — All this footage brought to you by GamesCom.
