Yaaaaaay!!!
Hosting again this year is Samuel L. Jackson, perhaps still riding the gamer cred he earned by doing a movie about an aircraft laden with pheromone-wild asps. Also expect many gratutious references to a particular brand of soda beverage named after the condensated water vapor that gathers on Earthen agglomerations of dirt and rock, including an entire award category "fueled" by it.
Also, hot chicks with cheat codes. Because that's what gamers want, right? They want hot chicks who read off cheat codes. I know that's my fantasy. Me being a mid-adolescent troglodyte. I also loooove TAG body spray; I hope they advertise too.
Actually, the "advisory panel" this year is made up of some actually respectable names in the gaming journalism industry, including Dan Hsu, Chris Baker, Jeff Gerstmann, Andy McNamara, Chris Kohler and other people I often see at E3 and other events but never bother talking to even though I'm sure they're all really interesting people. Whether their ratings for games have any bearing on whether games "win" is doubtful, however, as this show really knows its audience and therefore Halo 3 will win every category, even those it is not eligible for.
This mess show airs on Sunday, December 9th at 9pm but films on Friday, December 7th. Check out the attached link for a list of the categories.
