In case you have forgotten, tonight is the massive Video Game Awards.

Yes, we are aware there are going to be some awards there and shit, but you’re gonna be watching for the exclusive first reveals of stuff. Stuff like Tron, the new Prince of Persia, Medal of Honour and more. The biggest reveal of the night though will absolutely be Halo: Reach.

Geoff Keighley has called the game “the biggest game of 2010″, so lets see if he is right or not when the 2 and a half minute debut trailer goes live tonight.

Keighley has even said to D’Toid that the biggest thing for the show hasn’t even been revealed yet. What could that be?

Anyways, insomnia permitting, we’ll be here to break any news from the VGAs tonight. It kicks off at 1am GMT. If you can’t catch it on the internet somehow and live in the UK, UK channel Fiver will be showing it from Tuesday at 9pm.

Alien, brilliant. Predator, brilliant. Put the two together and what do you get? A forgettable set of films that aren’t worthy of remembrance. However, stick them together in a game as Rebellion Development’s did back in 1999 and you get one of the best shooters of that year.

Just over 10 years later, those guys at Rebellion are at it again, with another AvP FPS on the way. Can they work their magic once again and keep fans of both Alien and Predator happy?
