Channel 4's new games show. Anyone watch it?

Pretty cool I reckon. Quite adult in its approach - fair amount of swearing, though - that may be taking it a little too far.

Plenty of footage of the games, and some sensible comments.

Possibly the best games show yet.

I thought it was really good, better than Bits and Cyber someting (from channel 3) finally a decent games show.

The bit about the swearing where he did it to the little kid I thought was quite funny, that was probably the shock factor though.

I saw GTA3 in action, didn't really help my loyalty to Nintendo much, gah stupid show!

I thought it was good, entered the comp to win PS2! I liked it where he at the end put his middle finger up at her and said "Sit on it" or whatever. Great show.

GTA3 looks nice, first footage i've seen of the game. Not sure about Tony Hawks though it really does look exactly like the other two games.

Blimey, my brain has been cloned and placed into Wookiee's cranium. I thought exactly the same thing.

Top bit from the show was when a hardcore strategy gamer was asked in an interview: "Don't you think you're just sad?" and had to think about his answer.

Bes**t Bit: "Well, the X-Box is basically a box with an X on top, and we think that's sh*t.

Wors**t Bit: "Gamecube launched in Japan with three games - Luigi's Mansion, Wave RAce: Blue Storm and Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet."

It's hardly the best show yet but It's not bad considering the other game shows on TV, I still prefer bits though, I thought it was the perfect addition to 4later but obviously channel 4 disagree :-(

They could do with showning more in-game footage but other than that it's worth watching :-)

I wasn't so sure.

Is Max Payne really that bad on the PS2. I thought it was like one of the best games ever made on the PC but maybe its just the PS2 version.

And to be honest those two presenters irritated me.
