What is SSX: Deadly Descents? It's the next SSX game of course, silly! A brief trailer shown at tonight's Spike VGAs shows a distinctly darker, bro-ier snowboarding game than we're used to from the series. Then again, we're happy as all get out to see anything from SSX.

So, in summary: snowboarding, SSX, EA, bros. We'll have the trailer for you as soon as it's up!

You picked them, now play them! New classes become available as announced at the Spike Video Game Awards 2010.

Forza 4 was unveiled with a dramatic live-action trailer during tonight's Spike VGAs. The teaser gave an idea of what the game will include -- namely, simulation driving in really fast, expensive cars. Did you expect any less? See it for yourself after the break.

Also, we're guessing that the Kinect functionality that we saw with Forza back at E3 could end up in this forthcoming title. Color us interested, just please, please don't make us pretend there's a steering wheel in our hands. Forza 4 arrives on Xbox 360 in Fall 2011.

The Hellboy director sets to bring a new horror game out in 2013.

As promised, the Spike VGAs played host to the unveiling of the joint project between THQ and Pan's Labrynth director, Guillermo Del Toro. Titled Insane, nothing was revealed about the game's actual gameplay -- it's being developed by Volition and won't be launching until sometime in 2013 (no joke!). Based on the initial trailer, it's clear that it'll certainly be a horror title.

We'll have the teaser ASAP if you didn't get to see it on Spike, so keep an eye on Joystiq.

James Hellen, who seems to have undergone infection himself in an attempt to take out Mercer. Hit the jump for the teaser trailer.

Battle the Chimera next September.

Sci-fi sequel set amidst the invasion of Earth.

As rumored this past week, Kratos was confirmed during tonight's Spike VGAs as playable in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat reboot.
