June 29, 2007, 17 years ago
The World Series of Video Games (WSVG), presented by Intel, has announced that MÖTLEY CRÜE vocalist VINCE NEIL leads the pack of special guest judges that will evaluate Guitar Hero II competitors.
Attendees can look forward to seeing the legendary heavy metal icon at the finals of the upcoming Dallas, Texas event, July 5-8 at the Gaylord Texan Resort. Spike TV host Geoff Keighley and PC GameSpy.com's editor-in-chief Sal "Sluggo" Accardo will assist Vince Neil with the judging. Additional judges for later events will be announced at a later date.
"It was clear from the beginning that we would need to call in the experts to separate the rookies from the rock stars," said Matthew Ringel, president and commissioner of the World Series of Video Games. "We are committed to creating a video game tournament that is as fun for spectators as it is for participants. Our new judging format will help deliver the same immediacy and fun to Guitar Hero II competition as some of the most highly-watched music shows on television."At each event, the judges will score competitors based on accuracy, difficulty and in an interesting twist, showmanship! All areas of performances will be evaluated; from the ability to work the crowd, put together a unique and thought-out set and the precision of strumming and ripping.
