By now, I’m sure you’ve seen the God of War III gameplay trailer which debuted at the SPIKE 2008 VGAs. It’s been everywhere online, it’s downloadable right now on the PlayStation Store, and it’s in the video below.

But right before it was shown publicly for the first time, I caught up with the game’s Director, Stig Asmussen backstage:

And don’t forget, you’ll be able to download the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer on the PlayStation Store tomorrow!

If you watched last night’s 2008 SPIKE Video Game Awards, you heard the term “World Premiere!” quite a bit. Perhaps the most impressive “World Premiere!” was the reveal of the Uncharted 2: Among Thieves trailer. Shortly after the show ended, I caught up with the Josh Scherr, Cinematics Lead at Naughty Dog.

As the man behind the trailer, Josh shared his insights into Nathan Drake, and what it’s like to debut the first look of such a highly-anticipated title on a national stage.

Don’t forget, you can jump onto the PlayStation Store ~~right now~~ this Thursday and download the Uncharted 2 trailer for yourself!

A few short hours ago, Media Molecule were the LittleBigWinners at the SPIKE 2008 Video Game Awards. The Guildford, England-based developers won Studio of the Year honors (over the likes of Bethesda, Harmonix, and Rockstar North), while their masterpiece, LittleBigPlanet, was named the best PLAYSTATION 3 game of 2008.

I caught up with MM’s representatives at the show just minutes after the lights went down to capture their reaction:

In case you didn’t catch what Kenny was saying about drawing a blank – they were still on cloud nine having just met Hideo Kojima!

We’ll have more from the Spike 2008 VGAs later on today.
