Previously known as the Spike Video Game Awards (VGAs), the show has had a lick of paint over the last year being re-branded as VGX .

While it is utterly futile to compare a game and a movie, it would be fascinating to see it here just how it compared to some of the biggest ever movie releases, especially as the series won't be transitioning to the big screen its

The Batman: Arkham video game series did for gaming what Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy __ did for film: it fully realized the medium as a dynamic, complex, and accolade-worthy platform for superheroes, while still maintaining the respective franchise's impressive scope. It's a wonder, then, that more video game producers have yet to capitalize on this same success, or try their hand at comic book inspired games - especially considering the current cape-and-cowl trend dominating cine

Later on, Luke and Fonteno reinforced the fact that the gig required large amounts of imagination because other than the occasional prop, there was nothing in the room. Ogg adds that the script for GTA V is brilliant and that it could have easily been 3500 pa

In the hopes of delivering a message to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, fans of the OpenIV modding tool have amassed over 40 thousand signatures on their Change.org petition . The petition states that thousands of players have both lost the ability to mod their game and to pursue their passion for single-player modd

After the main questions, there was a Q&A session with the fans doling out the questions. One question asked the actors if they could pick any other character from any game to voice, who would they choose. Fonteno, unsurprisingly, would voice CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . He even hinted at a future event with CJ and Franklin, but the details remain a mystery. Ogg wants to voice Mario from the Super Mario Bros. series. Luke, answering in true Trevor fashion, would play the Blue Ghost from Pac

The first question the actors were asked was how there first got involved with the game and their feelings on it. Fonteno felt that "it was an honor to be here" and Ogg reportedly said, upon seeing the script, that "ain't nobody else doing it." Luke elaborated on the experience itself as being "really intense and very physical." Apparently the actors auditioning for the role took it very seriously, which is a great th
