It’s probably a bit too early to be talking about this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards. The event won’t be taking place for another couple of months, after all. Still, that isn’t stopping Geoff Keighley from hyping up this year’s show. Although he wasn’t ready to reveal specific details yet, he did say that the event will feature Spike’s “best VGA lineup” ever.
“Man we have so much to tell you! But it’s not quite time yet. It’s the best VGA lineup we’ve ever had, I promise you that.”
