by GamingBits on December 10, 2007

The winners for Spike’s 2007 Spike Video Game Awards were announced yesterday evening. BioShock came out as the big winner, with Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, The Orange Box and Super Mario Galaxy getting more than one recognition as well. The Xbox 360 offers the most titles on the list. Here’s the breakdown of the awards:

Game of the Year: BioShock

Studio of the Year: Harmonix (Rock Band)
Best Shooter: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Best RPG: Mass Effect
Best Military Game: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Best PS3 Game: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Best PC Game: The Orange Box
Best Original Score: BioShock
Best Multiplayer Game: Halo 3
Most Addictive Video Game Fueled by Dew: Halo 3

As much as I liked BioShock’s soundtrack, Mass Effect’s Soundtrack would have been my pick for Best Original Score. Probably the most memorable BioShock tunes weren’t original game compositions. Not that it was bad. I dug it too. Game of the Year contenders should have been a little more varied as well (notice it’s the same as the Xbox 360 contenders). How do you feel about the winners?
