We all know that Valve makes great games – but now the company has dabbled in making great books, too. Portal 2 – The Final Hours is a digital tome that will give you an “unvarnished look” behind the scenes on Valve’s most recent puzzler.

US games journalist Geoff Keighley launched The Final Hours of Portal 2 last night, a $1.99 iPad app detailing the creative process behind Valve’s puzzler. The feature itself comes in at 15,000 words and includes interactive diagrams, magazine-style production and such.

“The Final Hours of Portal 2 is a gripping and dramatic story brought to life by exclusive photos, videos, interviews, interactive experiences, and other surprises,” said Keighley.

Update: Guess what kiddos? We’ve decided to liveblog the event as it happens. Should you decide that you wish to stay up till around 1:00am (UK’ers) to check in with us, we will update you as the shit goes down! So, if Jack Black shows up in his undies shooting sparks from his groin again, or should Cliffy B decide to show and announce that Gears is being ported to Wii – we will let you know the second it happens. Not that it will, just sayin’.

Original: Spike TV will broadcast the 2009 Video Game Awards tonight at 8:00pm EST.

To get you pumped for it, you can watch a live stream of the rehearsals going on at the moment, which promised to give you a taste of some of the world premieres expected tonight.

Earlier, Geoff Keighley tweeted that during the “first five minutes” of the show, one of the “biggest surprise premieres in VGA history” will take place.

Oh, Geoff. You big tease. Stop it already. You’re making us blush.

Guess we’ll have to watch it now.

Geoff Keighley has told D’toid that there will be “more than 12″ exclusives, including the announced Crackdown 2, a new Star Wars title, and at least two games he can’t even comment on during the VGAs tomorrow night.

He also mentioned that during the commercial breaks, the show will come back with new stage set ups, thanks to digital environments.

“We definitely have some pretty major surprises still to come,” he said. “Essentially, the biggest thing in the show hasn’t even been announced yet.

“We’re going to keep some of the environments secret [for now] but you’ll definitely get to see that we’ll be transforming a lot of worlds, even some games worlds, as well. We’re working with some game publishers to actually create some of the very cool content.

“You know, I think we do a pretty good job that will get the hardcore excited, but we also have to look at the broader more mainstream audience. Because if I booked ten Japanese RPGs on the show, that might be great for some of the real hardcore guys, but that’s not what’s going to appeal to the mainstream crowd.”

Keighley also revealed that Dead Space 2, Natal, and Sony’s motion controller will not be included in the show.

The full thing is through the link.

Yet more from Geoff Keighley’s Twitter account. The Spike presenter’s confirmed that UFC Undisputed 2010 will be aired for the first time at the VGAs this weekend.

Woo. We want to see sweat on their sweat this time. And some suggestive thrusting, obviously.

The VGAs take place this Saturday.

Halo Reach’s premiere at the VGAs next week will be a true, in-game showing of the title and looks set to debut 2010′s biggest game “by far,” if Spike’s Geoff Keighley’s comments on the latest Major Nelson podcast are to be believed.

“At the VGAs we’re actually going to be able to go down on the planet Reach and see this game for the first time,” said the presenter.

“It’s all going to be in-game stuff. This is not CG, this is not live action, like all the kids on Twitter are speculating. You’re going to get a first glimpse of the world of Reach, which is phenomenal.

He added: “I think it’s going to be the biggest game of next year by far. Folks loved ODST and thought it was great, but when people see the huge leap forward Bungie’s taking with Reach… Everyone I’ve talked to that’s been on the team and seen it is incredibly excited about that game.”

Hot shit. These quotes are pretty much the first thing Keighley says in his segment. Listen to the file at about 1.18.

The VGAs take place on December 12.

There’s a Crackdown 2 teaser video up on GameTrailers. You can view it here.

Twitter King Geoff Keighley has tweeted that during the VGAs, the first gameplay trailer for the title will be shown.

Still no date. Maybe it will be announced on December 12 when the awards ceremony airs on Spike.

GTTV host Geoff Keighley has tweeted that there is still ten more games to be announced for the VGAs next month on December 12.

Speaking in a update, he said: “I think we have around 10 games still unannounced.”

He tweeted a while ago that there will be more announcements coming this week.

So far, only Halo: Reach and the secret 2k Games shooter has been pegged for the show, although a longer and extended version of the trailer for the latter emerged on Saturday.

Thanks, SCRAWL.

The 2009 Video Game Awards will host the exclusive world premiere of HALO: Reach on Spike TV December 12.

This is according to a tweet posted by Geoff Keighley.

VGA nominees are expected to be announced today, as well, and the awards show will also be home to world premiere titles and announcements. You won’t want to miss it.

Hit the link and see for yourself.

A promo teasing episode 228 of GTTV has popped up, and looks like the latest episode is gonna be full of Mass Effect 2 goodness.

Apparently, not only will BioWare show off new areas of the game, but according to a tweet by host Geoff Keighley, we’ll get to “meet and see the Illusive Man for the first time”. Cool.

Not into ME2? Well, there will also be new details on Alan Wake, new trailers for Command & Conquer 4 and Dante’s Inferno, and a review for Modern Warfare 2.

It usually airs around 12:30am EST on Spike TV, which is technically Friday morning, and snoozy time.

Therefore, expect more on this tomorrow should you not be able to stay awake for it.
