La notte degli Oscar dei videogiochi è praticamente arrivata. Gli Spike Awards 2011 sono ormai alle porte e cresce l’attesa per l’evento organizzato da Spike TV.
Non solo tra questa notte e domattina conosceremo i nomi dei migliori giochi di questo anno che si sta concludendo, ma di sicuro saranno annunciate diverse novità (l’anno scorso ci fu l’annuncio di Skyrim, tra i tanti).
Tra queste, basti ricordare quella del nuovo Alan Wake (chiamato finora Night Springs che secondo alcuni sarebbe il vero Alan Wake 2), mentre molte software house faranno diversi annunci a sensazione.
Sarà anche tolto il primo velo su The Last of Us, misteriosa (finora) esclusiva PlayStation 3.
Vi lasciamo all’elenco delle nomination categoria per categoria. Qui, invece, la pagina dell’evento.
