My Take: Was the award show boring? Yeah but thats nothing new. Did they try to focus on the awards? Maybe. Was it two hours I wish I could take back? Oh yeah. But hey its a ugly job but someone has to do it. I do have to say though, with the announcement of Starwars: The Force Unleashed II, Green Day: Rock Band and Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, 2010 will be one interesting year.
