Spike TV's Video Game Awards returned this year with a 8th anniversary celebration that gathered some of the world's hottest creators and designers as they honor the year's greatest achievements gaming.

Similar to most of the other 2010 Video Game Awards unveilings, details on Forza Motorsport 4 are as good as nonexistant, but nonetheless Turn10 has announced that it is working on the next installment in its racing franchise, scheduled for release in Fall 2010, possibly with Kinect compatibility and head tracking.

The 2010 VGAs had quite a few interesting announcements being made: Forza 4, Insane, Protoype 2, SSX: Deadly Descents and TES V. Very cool. Some of it's quite a few years out, but at least it gives us something to look forward to. Wonder what happened with the promised Gears Of War announcement. It was canceled at the last minute by Microsoft, so that must not have made CliffyB happy since he wasn't able to steal the show and all.

We got most of our chores done, and there are a few more to do tomorrow, but we also need to attend our first Christmas gathering and make some cupcakes in preparation. Should be fun.

We watched Bones, Burn Notice, Hell's Kitchen, Psych, and for tomorrow we have a few more things on the DVR, Get Him to the Greek or The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
