Awards Announcement Presented on Spike TV Tuesday, June 7 At 11:25 PM, ET
Network Features Night of Videogame Themed Programming;
Includes Premiere of Original Special THE ULTIMATE GAMER: E3
NEW YORK, May 31 -- Spike TV will celebrate the best in the
world of videogames with the first-ever televised presentation of "Game
Critics Awards: The Best of E3" awards. This announcement event will take
place on Spike TV Tuesday, June 7 at 11:25 PM, ET. Leading up to and
immediately following this special award announcement, Spike TV will feature
an entire evening of videogame themed programming with special presentations
of E3 CINEMA and THE ULTIMATE GAMER.
The "Game Critics Awards: Best of E3" is presented annually by The Game
Critics Awards, an independent group of videogame journalists from 35 leading
media outlets. Now in its ninth year, these awards recognize the games that
will shape the future of interactive entertainment. Games eligible for
nomination were shown during the May 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo,
better known as E3, the world's largest videogame convention.
This year's Game Critics Awards will be presented in 16 wide-ranging
categories. At 11:25 PM ET, Spike TV will present a commercial-free telecast
of the "Game Critics Awards: Best of E3" awards, announcing the winners in the
five top categories -- Best of Show, Best Original Game, Best PC Game, Best
Console and Best Peripheral/Hardware. Viewers will see footage of winning
games, watch interviews with the game designers, and hear commentary from the
Game Critics Awards judges. Winners in all categories will be simultaneously
announced on the Internet at http://www.spiketv.com,
http://www.gamecriticsawards.com and through many of the media outlets
represented on the Game Critics Award panel.
Leading up to Spike TV's telecast of "Game Critics Awards: The Best of E3"
announcement, the network will present a videogame inspired CASINO CINEMA
presentation of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (9:00 - 11:25 PM, ET/PT). This
1997 fantasy/action film is based on the popular video game where a group of
martial arts warriors have only six days to save the Earth from an
extra-dimensional invasion. Game Critics Awards co-chairman Geoff Keighley
and videogame journalist Zoe Flower will be on hand during CASINO CINEMA to
talk about some of this year's "Game Critics Awards: Best of E3" nominees.
Immediately following the awards announcement, Spike TV will premiere THE
ULTIMATE GAMER: E3 (11:30 PM - Midnight, ET/PT). This original special will
take viewers for an inside look at the E3, the world's largest video game
industry convention and will offer a sneak peek at some of the games that will
start hitting stores later this year. THE ULTIMATE GAMER specials present
some of videogame's hottest and most anticipated game titles. The series
features never before seen game footage, highlights incredible play action of
upcoming releases and surprises the "ultimate" fan of a particular video game
franchise, sending him on a whirlwind tour to experience the game in real
life.
