2K’s just put out a press release for Spec Ops: The Line, the Yager shooter announced that the VGAs this weekend. Read the whole thing here and watch the first video after the break.

The game “unfolds within the destroyed opulence of Dubai,” apparently, and sees US Army Colonel John Konrad “and his loyal squad remained behind to protect those incapable of escape.”

Pumping. It’s out for PC, PS3 and 360 next year. Looks pretty shooty, soldier.

Have a watch. It’s out next year.

The front Tron Evolution trailer emerged from the VGAs last night, showing glowy men riding around on glowy bikes. Bet you never expected that.

It’s a Disney thing, developed by Propaganda.

Activision trailered a True Crime reboot at the VGAs last night, as you can see after the break.

Canadian developer United Front‘s doing the work. It’s the same outfit behind ModNation Racers.

The new game’s set in China, featuring an undercover cop against the Triads. For those that may not remember, True Crime: Streets of L.A. was originally developed by Luxoflux, and released in 2003.

A sequel, True Crime: New York City, released in 2005, again by Luxoflux.

There’s no date on this. Get all the rest of the show news from Steph’s liveblog.

EA dropped the first Medal of Honor at the VGAs last night as promised, and very bloody awesome it looks too.

The shooter reboot’s set in modern-day Afghanistan. There’s no denying the quality here.

It’s out for PC, 360 and PS3 at the end of next year. Get all the rest of the show news from Steph’s liveblog.

Hit the link for the first Halo: Reach trailer, which debuted last night at the Spike VGAs.

Looks as though Bungie’s gone for the “beefy” look this time round, armour-skulls and all.

Quite hard not to be excited about this, to be honest. Even if it does feel a little “Army of Two”.

It’s out next year. Get all the rest of the show news from Steph’s liveblog.

Hit the link for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2′s reveal trailer. The game was announced at last night’s Spike VGAs.

This, Ringo, is great news. Watch and see why. There’s no date, but the end of next year is probably a safe bet.

This weekend’s VGAs will see a new clip from the Prince of Persia movie aired, according to the almighty Geoff Keighley’s super-Twitter.

Banny rabbit beefcake Jake Gyllenhaal himself will be on hand to intro the new footage.

The VGAs air on Saturday at 8pm EST.

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.

GT has live a teaser for an unnamed game for the VGAs in a couple of weeks.

Nobody knows what it is, although most people are saying it is Stranglehold 2.

But superannuation is hinting that the game is in fact Treyarch’s Black Lotus, which seemed to be canned a while back.

What can it be?

Find the teaser after the break.

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.

Last year’s VGA’s had the reveal of Dante’s Inferno, Uncharted 2 and Fight Night: Round 4, as well as a new trailer of God of War III.

But what about the VGA’s 2009? Geoff Keighley’s said in an interview with Coin-op TV (via BigDownload) to expect more of the same.

“We haven’t announced any exclusives, but I promise you we’ve got some amazing stuff,” said Keighley.

“And one cool thing this year is we’re actually going to be announcing a lot of games at the show. There are some games that are announced you haven’t seen yet you might see at the show. But we’re actually going to break a lot of news at the VGA’s, it’s gonna be sort of like E3.”

Lovely. Megatons just before Christmas. Find the full video after the break.
