I'm SO STOKED for Iron Man, it's kinda silly. Robert Downey Jr is the PERFECT pick for Tony Stark. Gaming Today has a great behind the scenes video on the making of the Iron Man video game staring Downey.

Spike Announces Video Game Awards Nominees, I don't care that much...

But I do care enough to post on it!

So even though I went last year, I'm just not that stoked. The list of nominees is pretty much what everyone would expect, and I'm sure it's going to be a Halo sweep because of all the Mountain Dew tie ins.

If YOU'RE interested, you've probably already seen the list somewhere else, but here it is again for good measure.

I mean, there's not even a voice acting catagory. LAME!

See The New Halo 3 Ad "Museum" !!!

Joystiq has the new Halo 3 Commercial up and running. It's an exceptional spot, very interesting, and very unexpected.

Check it out here!

Also of note, the voice on the commercial is that of Mr. Bill Bolender, a client at the agency. Bill's a great guy, a lot of fun to work with, and is a very avid gamer. I was happy to see him get this spot, as I'm sure that he'll be first in line at a GameStop to pick up Halo 3 when it comes out.
