Make sure to tune into the season premiere of GAMETRAILERS TV this Thursday, January 21 on Spike! The all-new season kicks off with the first look at the single-player campaign of BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 from EA. While the multiplayer has been widely shown (and praised), we’ll show you the first single-player trailer and a ton of gameplay from two of the missions. Also, we’re introducing a new segment next week starring industry analyst Michael Pachter.
I’m looking forward to the new season and we’re already planning lots of great coverage and world exclusives for the coming weeks. Let me know which games you’d like to see us cover on the show.

The 2009 VGAs featured more than a dozen world premieres and even surprise announcements, like the sequel to BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM.

Pulling together our VGA world premieres takes the better part of 6 months, as publishers and developers create custom trailers and assets just for the worldwide broadcast! We hope you enjoyed all the premieres for some of the most anticipated games coming in 2010 and 2011.
Spike’s Video Game Awards are coming back this Saturday, December 12th at 8 PM on Spike. Stay tuned for many more details in the days to come. We have some amazing world premiere titles and announcements in the show, and of course awards for the best games of 2009.
What world premiere titles would you like to see?
Easily one of the most talked about games of 2009 is Batman: Arkham Asylum. It’s an early contender for game of the year. A few months ago I was lucky enough to visit the game developer Rocksteady in London for a behind the scenes look at the making of the game. You can see the full 30 minute Spike TV special on the game below — it’s currently the #1 most downloaded TV show on PlayStation Network! Enjoy – and if you click through you can watch the show in HD.
Check out the latest episode of GTTV from Bungie in Seattle on Halo 3: ODST. We also world premiere the multiplayer trailer for BioShock 2.
