It appears as though yesterday’s mystery teaser for the upcoming Spike TV Video Game Awards, featuring a CGI scene of a war in Dubai, is actually not the newest teaser in the world. Revealed back in August, the clip is said to be from upcoming 2K Games franchise reboot Spec Ops.

Originally, the title was claimed by EGM rumor mill “Quartermann” to be in development in the shuttered magazine’s July 2008 issue. 1UP claims the title to be confirmed by the 90-second teaser trailer that we’ve dropped after the break. We’d suggest checking it out simply for the fact that it contains more footage than the teaser from yesterday, but the fact that Björk is involved makes us all the more inclined to recommend a viewing. For those of you thirsting for more, your next chance to see the game will be at 2009’s world exclusive-filled VGAs. We’ve contacted 2K Games for comment and will update this post if we hear more.

Geoff Keighley let out some pretty big news today via Twitter concerning the VGA Awards, which happens on December 12th, 2009 at 8 PM Eastern. Apparently the world premiere of the newest game from Bungie, Halo: Reach will take place on stage in Los Angeles. The following is what Geoff Keighley had to say.

“The world premiere of HALO: REACH happens only at the 2009 Video Game Awards, Live 12/12 on Spike.”

Very little is currently known about the game, except that it is an FPS. Despite this lack of knowledge, many are hopeful it will bring closure to what seems to be a never ending Halo series. Details of the game’s story and setting are expected to come from the premiere during the show.

Also concerning the VGAs, voting is open for players to choose which games are the best of the best in 28 different categories. Choose wisely, as the results of the voting are declared on Spike TV throughout the show.
