Complex Magazine's Video Games Editor was a judge, so you know their picks are the right ones.
The actor who brought “Chuck” to life on NBC for five seasons has been focusing more on his company, Nerd Machine, since filming the series finale. Zac Levi, much like the character he played on TV, is a huge fan of videogames, technology and gadgets. He’s blending all of the things he loves together through a new deal with Spike TV, which will allow viewers to experience E3 through the eyes of the actor.
Nerd Machine will be providing original coverage and content for Spike TV throughout the first two days of E3 on June 4 and 5 in Los Angeles. Levi’s Nerd Machine partner, David Coleman, will be along for the ride, and Alison Haislip will be interviewing developers at the trade show. Levi, who last worked with Spike TV as the host of the “VGAs” in December, took a break to talk about how this E3 will be a little different for him than past shows in this exclusive interview.
Unfortunately for gamers, a large portion of the generations that proceeded us still think of video games the way they did back in the 1980s. At best, many think of video games as something just for kids. At worst they think of video games as just another entertainment medium like music or movies, and that they should be disseminated and monetized the same way.
The biggest news from the VGAs, plus Metal Gear Shockers, DOA 5, and Ninja Gaiden 3
Hm. You make some fair points. It's admittedly unfair (?) that Portal 2 and Skyrim are thrown against each other. That's like trying to pick a Vehicle of the Year when one is a 4-door sedan and one is a private jet; both are vehicles, per se, but both accomplish utterly different things.
(It's not a perfect analogy, I know.)
