When it comes to Hollywood gamers, sure, Vin Diesel has his own game company, Tigon Studios, but I’ve never met two more die hard gamers than the stars of NBC’s hit action comedy, “Chuck,” which also happens to be a show that features a lot of games. It’s not a coincidence that Zachary Levi’s Chuck and Joshua Gomez’s Morgan are gamers in the show. They’re the reason Gears of War was featured in the first two episodes and that other games have become a staple of the show.
“We’re both HUGE Gears of War fans,” said Gomez. “Halo was Halo…it will always be that, but as soon as I played the first Halo is how I feel about Gears. I anticipate the sequel to Gears like I anticipated the sequel to Halo. It’s going to be tough to follow up on that. I understand why Halo kind of dipped. I don’t know if Halo 2 could have ever lived up to the expectations, because they were so high, and I kind of feel like there’s going to be a similar thing with Gears. I’ve taken a lot of heat from a lot of people because Gears was so hyped and so huge of a game, but to me I thought it lived up to it. And multiplayer-wise, that game is so much more up my alley. I actually prefer the smaller four-on-four combat because then I knew who I was playing with and you could communicate and I thought there was a lot more strategy and things like that to it.” More »
