Jonathan Ross to Work for FREE in Halo 3???

NO!
Bad Voice over actor! BAD!!!

I have a hard enough time convincing people that video game VO is worth more than scale, and here comes an established animation actor GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE!?!?!

"British chat-show host Jonathan Ross is reported to be a big videogames fan, especially of the halo variety, and as such is voicing one of the bad guys in upcoming blockbuster title Halo 3.
Bungie have kept the alien's details under wraps, but it is understood
that the showbiz star - who is under contract with the BBC until 2010
with an £18 million contract - is to lend his voicing talents for free."

Though I kinda love this pic of him. Like he's already apologizing to me for being such a punk.

PUNK!

GPHORIA Awards 2007 - RESULTS!

G4's viewer voting is done.
A few surprises, but pretty much what I expected.
Here's the run down:

System - XBox 360
Best New Character - Marcus Fenix (Gears of War voiced by John Di Maggio)
Hottest Babe - Kasumi (DOA XTREME 2 voiced by Kari Wahlgren)
Best Strategy Game - Command and Conquer 3
Best Sports Game - Wii Sports
Best Action Game - Gears of War (XBox 360)
Best RPG - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Most Original Game - Dead Rising (XBox 360)
Best Multiplayer Game - Gears of War (XBox 360)
Best Downloadable Content - Elder Scrolls 4: Shivering Isles (XBox 360)
Best Voiceover - The Mighty Rasta as Augustus "Cole Train" Cole
Best Graphics - Gears of War (XBox 360)
Best Soundtrack - Guitar Hero 2 (PS2/XBox 360)
Most Deserves a Uwe Boll Movie - Red Steel (Wii)
Longest Lasting Game - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Game of the Year - Gears of War (XBox 360)

Yup, Gears of War pretty much swept the voting.=, though I was surprised to see not ONE token PS3 award.

I was stoked for C&C3 though, as our agency had several voices in that game (Billy Brown, Peter Giles, Peter Jessop, and Kari Wahlgren), and Jennifer Morrison was an FMV actress.

I dig G4's awards (over say Spike's) as it's a "viewers choice".
