Midway’s Las Vegas Gamer’s Day’s now been and gone and there are lots of words on the internet about it. Looks as though nothing terribly dramatic got announced, the most interesting thing in the publisher’s line-up being Epic’s Unreal Tournament III for 360 – albeit without user-generated levels – for release this summer. Here’s what you/we missed:

• Blitz: The League II and casual stuff announced
• No user mods for UTIII 360, impressions
• TNA iMPACT impressions
• Wheelman impressions
• NBA Ballers: Chosen One videos
• Gears of War surprise in UTIII 360, says Rein
• NBA Ballers: Chosen One impressions
• TNA iMPACT videos – one, two, three
• This is Vegas impressions

A summary of this: Midway tried to gate comedian Dave Chapelle to VO NBA Ballers: Chosen One, couldn’t because he’d gone bonkers, tried to get Chuck D, Chuck wanted to do it. Some other stuff about producers, all from one of the developers. Read it if you love Chuck D, Midway basketball games, or both. Don’t if you don’t.

Public Enemy frontman Chuck D is to add VO to Midway’s basketball game, NBA Ballers: Chosen One.

“The talents of Chuck D and Just Blaze will greatly enhance the NBA Ballers: Chosen One experience, as players live the fantasy lifestyle of an NBA Superstar,” said George Gomez executive producer, Midway Amusement Games. “Chuck D is one of the most recognizable voices in music history, while Just Blaze has produced multiple chart-topping hits. Together they’ll ensure that NBA Ballers: Chosen One will feature a sound to match the game’s amazing graphics and gameplay.”

We love you, Chuck. But we prefer that funny one that wears the clock. The game’s coming out in the US in spring, says this press release.
