Spike TV held its annual Video Game Awards which saw The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim sweep house claiming the most prestigious awards given on the night.
Although tonight’s awards were littered with teasers and trailers for upcoming games in 2012, the awards’ real purpose is to congratulate the excellent work game developers have done with the games released in 2011.
