I think it might be scottish tv only, but the best video game show ever is back after a year and on at 11.30 tonight on BBC2.

Metalface Mark · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:33

Its starting, wee

Its the most off the wall games show you ever can see and genuinly funny.

theonebillygunn · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:34

I think I must have missed something here, you say this is supposed to be funny?

theonebillygunn · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:49

I have no idea what this actually is!!! Nice reference to games master though, bring it back

It seems to have gone downhill somewhat since its been off air in the last year

theonebillygunn · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:52

Absolutely dire, have turned off and am now feeling rather put off by computer games in general!

Jokester · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:52

This is quite close to being the worst thing I've ever seen on mainstream tv.

Edit: The Need for Speed review is not bad though.

roysters · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:57

I'm sorry, im sitting here with 4 of my mates and we have all come to the same conclusion. What a load of rubbish! It's not even funny, just weird...

Metalface Mark · 23 Dec 2007 at 23:58

It actually did used to be funny. I feel i have brought shame on my country by recommending this.

wedgie · 24 Dec 2007 at 00:03

Couldn't make it to the end, sorry.

I do tend to prefer the traditional style game shows.

slambo69 · 24 Dec 2007 at 00:03

Absolutely pathetic. There are shows like film with jonathon ross and even his chat shows its all about movie stars, channel 4 is currently full of crappy modern emo band crap shows that just sound like amateurs.

For starters, the presenters are crap, no life no excitement you can barely tell they are enthusiastic about games. They are doing magic tricks? Who the **** wants to see two untalented muppets do that on a games show?

They should take a leaf out of top gears book, look how successful that is. They should have a game for celebs to come and set high scores on, a few games reviews, an article special like GOTY, highlights, do video games help in whatever etc. and interviews with games journalists and industry insiders. Also they should have balls, get developers to come in and grill them on their game, speak up for the real gamers who are tired of rehashes and boring and un-innovative games.

What they show now is pathetic, video games are so popular, yet they will never be accepted if this is how they are portrayed.

TV broadcasting has always hated video games, even games master wont come back, what excuse can they have for that? It would surely get more ratings than the liberal crap on channel 4 now, then again the liberals seem to hate video games thats probably why.

Nice to know the bbc are doing something fun and entertaining with my licence fee....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT
