E3 2012: Best of Xbox Showcase

Jeff storms the floor of the Best of Xbox Showcase, managing to check out Gears of War Judgment, bump into Tony Hawk(!), and find a few depressingly familiar faces.

The eternal battle between Giant Bomb and the Electronic Three rages on.

I think Tony Hawk actually cares about his franchise.

Tony Hawk seems way more involved and concerned about his games than i would have thought.

Tony Hawk interview had a really awkward vibe over it. John Drake interview was awesome! You should have asked him about his brother. I'm sure he's never heard that one before.

"Tony Hawk: The bandwidth wasn't there"

It still isn't tony, a good amount of people are still restricted to shitty bandwidth caps, and a decent chunk doesn't even have broadband.

Tony. hey, the first Pro Skater was on also Dreamcast. haha

Jeff is such a pro, he had to make up those questions on the fly and he did so without flinching. He got a little star struck there but he reeled it in pretty well.

The David Lang interview was pretty great too. Theres a moment there (somewhere around 5:25) that if you look you can see Jeff asking himself "Am I cool enough with Dave to make this joke question?" Its a quick moment, but I thought it was funny.

Man, buncha' excellent interviews. And to think that people come to this site, watch their gameplay videos and criticize them for not being good enough at games to work as journalists.

John Drake continues to be a real world superhero. Tony Hawk... Still a totally chill dude who's more into games than I suspected. Good stuff.

More games need John Drake putting time machines in them, he sells it so well that it's hard not to get hooked by it.

Amazing Tony Hawk Interview. He was totally testing Jeff about his TH knowledge. Jeff has mentioned before that Tony Hawk is really involved in the franchise, but man, he is COMMITTED, that was nice to see. I have a special place in my heart for the TH games.

If that isn't a launch title for the next Xbox then it's all over, videogames are done.

I want to talk to a creepy digital version of Tony Hawk and so does everybody else. Make it happen, Microsoft. Activision. Whoever.

Man, Jeff really buttered up Tony Hawk at the beginning with the whole "legacy" thing. You could see in his eyes that he wanted to say "do YOU know that RIDE was pretty not good?"

The Dave Lang encounter wins Interview of the Year.

And I really like how Tony Hawk's looking at the new thing as more of a platform for expansion stuff. Very cool.

Tony Hawk is surprisingly knowledgeable about his game. Good to see someone with their name on a product they're passionate about.

Dave Lang is cool, too.

Why is everyone raving about that John Drake fellow?? I found him sort of annoying, and I have a feeling Jeff was quite un-amused with his antics as well. In fact I'll bet he is who jeff is referring to with the, 'depressingly familiar faces' bit.
