So what's going to be different about this Saturday's Video Game Awards on Spike TV compared to previous years? We already know that the show will be a bit classier thanks to the decision to pick Neil Patrick Harris as the overall host. Now, via a chat with Entertainment Tonight's web site (yes we are linking to an ET news story; the apocalypse must be near) Harris states that the awards set will also be a bit different.

Harris says, "Rather than having lots of set pieces everywhere, the sets are going to be done digitally." That should be ... interesting to see if that can be pulled off well. Harris also calls himself a "medium-sized video gamer" (he plays Call of Duty; we guess that qualifies). Harris says that as far as his style of hosting he likes to become one of the Rat Pack, saying, "I try to be as drunk as Dean Martin, that makes it all go away much faster." Indeed.
