"Iain Lee on "Viewtiful Joe""

Those of you who watch RI:SE on Channel 4 may of seen Iain Lee (The gangly male presenter) make some comments on some video games he was reviewing. After doing "Project Gotham racing 2" and "T.H.U.G." he came round to "Viewtiful Joe" and had this to say:

"I haven't played this one yet, but judging by the cover, it looks bad."

What an Idiot!

This is all Nintendo needs, bad publicity on one of its most under rated games on it's 'Cube.

You Views.

Thumb Bandits was good but it was on too late.

I was warching a 10 year old episode of Gamesmaster yesterday (on Challenge TV)and was remembering how good it was.(Not ten years ago though, it sucked back then but not as much as Gamezville does)
Channel 4 should re-commision it or make a new games programme.

Gamepad's pretty good but the presenter's annoying!

A good games programme would get a lot of viewers, seeing as how the VG industry is one of the biggest at the moment

Gah? Bits? Bits owned thumb bandits.

Neither were very good, but bits was sooo much better.
IMO, of course :^)

Gamezville gave Viewtiful Joe a whoping 5 G'z, well deserved i think i can only ever see the 2nd half of Gamesville though, because of getting home from school.

He is hardcore - for a mainstream audience, anyway. He's hardcore cool. Actually, he's a tall midget. No, just a second, he's a w*an...

Anybody see Rise this morning? It's really sinking to new depths with every day that passes... I think they only have 12 days to go and they don't think anybody is watching anyway, so it's like total chaos on camera. I don't think the producers/directors really give a toss what they say or do anymore.

They spent a good minute or so just randomly shouting the music from Empire Strikes Back, for no particular reason.

It's not going to do their careers much good though.

That would have been class to watch.

Thumb Bandits took over from 'Bits' right?
Thumb Bandits, I found was quite un-biased, funny but on the verge of cheesy and focused more on pointless news for example, they had an article on a guy who owns this pub and he installed a few retro arcade machines in there. Whoopeedo! I can sleep now I know that.

And the latest program ive watched..Cybernet..
Its mainly for reviews and a few cheats with the odd article, presented by some American guy but the good thing is you dont see him so you actually get to watch more of the game being reviewed. A little cheesy (listen out for his crappy line at the end of each review) but good, informative and un-biased, even if the games they review have been out for a month or so.
Its on late and if im still up about 3.00 I may decide to watch but not worth staying up for.

Gamepad I have seen once or twice and looks good.

Gamezville... I cant stand it!
Boring, dull men rambling on and on which is what im kinda doing so bye.

Cybernet was great about 5 years ago when it was narrated by that women with the lovely voice, her name was Lucy Lastic or something like that.

LOL, Lucy Lastic. Where did you come up with that?

Nobody watches RI:SE anyway.

And those that do don't hold RI:SE's opinions in high regard.
