Just watched the show and while Dara o Brian bitching about games was funny I never figured Charlie brooker for a Halo fan.

I enjoyed it, had a good go at games for being stupid and puerile without demonizing them.
It looks like Yahtzee just copied his style, not his superior taste in games.MatParker116 said:

Watched it, and liked it. Though what was with all this responsible driving in GTA4 they had going on? Negotiating traffic in a safe and responsible manner only belongs in reality.
For some reason, one of the funniets moments show for me was the little genre "insert" they had for MMORPGs where they had the group of people milling around aimlessly and generally getting in each others way. Quite an accurate depiction, actually.
Was quite pleasantly surprised it had a 50 minute duration, expected a show like this just to have a 30 minute slot. Provided of course, this isn't just a one off for the pilot. Hmm, though unless I misread, wasn't the link to the Escapist incorrectly given as "theescapist.com"?
*checks again*
Yes, unfortunately, it was.

I really enjoyed it. Refreshing program, hope it gets a series. Wonder if Yahtzee would like it?
Yeah I noticed the URL too, and the text colour contrast wasn't very favourable. Poor RebeccaMarsProbe said:
Funnily enough - that links to a website about the reality of fantasy games, or something along those lines for those that haven't checked. Also, I'm sure I recalled those Consolevania guys from somewhere (besides their classic accentsCharlie_Brown said:I really enjoyed it. Refreshing program, hope it gets a series.

)I seem to recall watching a fairly amusing review [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYAxVcNMsYc] of theirs many moons ago...
IPlayer is indeed my friend. Praise be.
And as always, Charlie Brooker is a God and must be worshipped. Genius.

Really enjoyed it, agreed with most of it. Could have taken a more in depth look at something better than the new Wolfenstein for the FPS review, but I suppose it showed how far games have come.
Could have done with abit more of a review on Portal or something not violent, as it did show games being brutal alot and in parts proving the media right, albeit in a funny way. (which I enjoyed but for anyone trying to convince their parents games aren't bad this isn't the best show)

This was brilliant. Just came on to make this thread actually.
Was surprised by Rebecca's appearance, glad she got her best song to date on there. I do hope this becomes a regular show but I seriously doubt it.
Nice to see Dara o Brian on. One of my favourite comedians, even with the realization that he is a noob.

:O Apparently he wanted to get Yahtzee on the show but couldn't because of some legal complication, devestated!
