Today, I’m proud to announce that the New York Videogame Critics Circle Awards will be held on February 5, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.

I’m just as proud to announce that the show will be written and hosted by the Daily Show with Jon Stewart’s Emmy Award-winning writer, Daniel Radosh. I know a fair amount about what Daniel has in mind for the show. Believe me, it’s going to be truly hilarious and awesome.

Expect more announcements regarding live music and celebrity presenters in the coming days and weeks.

Again, we continue our fine relationship with New York University by holding the event at NYU’s Pfizer Auditorium at the MetroTech in Brooklyn. Thanks to the NYU Game Center for their invaluable help therein.

The Pfizer holds 4oo people, I’m told, so we’ll have more room to accommodate the public this year.

Once again, admission will be free – if you RSVP to the forthcoming guest list.

Expect an announcement regarding the after party as well.

We can’t wait to see you at the 2nd Annual New York Videogame Critics Circle Awards!
