What does everyone think of this? Sometimes it's really good and has decent reviews and holds my interest. But sometimes it frankly sucks. Like when they review something boring or have a dull face off. I usually only watch it for the g-team and console kitchen.

Yep, there are two - both mutli region though you'll have to import from somewhere if you don't want to get ripped off.

[URL]http://www.free-ipromotion.com/e3access04/[/URL] is the one I used, it'll cost you $30 (about £16) including shipping, takes 1-2 weeks and is direct from the supplier. That's the official one.

[URL]http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=98&products_id=4426[/URL] Lik Snag also do it, not sure on there shipping charges.

[URL]http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/238982.asp[/URL] this is the rival Gamespot Complete disc, not official though.

I have the first one, it's well worth the money and covers every game, conference, silly stuff etc at the show.

Gamer TV was good but like Gamepad it's starting repeating now (by the way is Gamepad still hailing Pong as being at the cutting edge of graphics? :-D)

Cybernet was good when it was on it's 7.30 slot on Sci-Fi with the lady presenter but now they have that corny guy at 3.30 in the morning that's gone rubbish as well.

TV Execs seem unable to realise that if you're going to make a gaming show you can't just do a series then leave it for a few months, the gaming industry is always moving along, you need a show a week at least to cover the latest happenings in the game world, it's not like they'd be short of material.

Meh, bring Gamesmaster back dammit, show the muppets at Gamezville how to make a good gaming show

To be fair you cannot cover E3 in a 30 min show, hell the official E3 DVD totals about 16hours and still does not cover everything.

gamezville covered more like 2 mins of E3. Should have been the whole show probably.

Gamezville hasn't been great at all. I would rather watch Gamepad or Gamer TV on Bravo. If I remember, all 3 shows did an E3 'Special Report'. The dorks from Gamezville had made the report better than anything else that they had done previously on Gamezville, but the report was not up to standard as Gamer TV as they had dedicated a whole show to E3 whilst Gamezville only covered 10-15 minutes of E3. Oh, and GamePad's wasn't too bad either.

It's crap. It's not professional in anyway. At all.

Gamepad and GamerTV on Bravo are much better shows. Much better.

Over here that is true, but in japan, there's a Famitsu TV show (I think) that pulls it off nicely.

The problem in the western world is trying to avoid coming across as a geek-fest and trying to look cool/acceptable without overdoing it. However every show seems to be failing. First remedy for Gamezville - change of presenters. Those guys really do suck balls.

The only gaming show I actually enjoy watching is Gamer TV on Bravo - but even that's not much cop.

> Gamesmaster>Gamezville>all other videogame shows.

IMO, it would be Gamesmaster>Games World>Gamer TV>other shows.
