I always found that strange. A programme that contains no potentially offensive content is on at 2:00am, when we have Johnson's baby cream adverts on in the afternoon, which depict far more potentially offensive content than Cybernet. What is it with today's world?

Oh, and Cybernet rules, by the way. Lucy Longhurst has the best voice of any presenter out there, and that american dude sucks :D

The only reason I watch games shows, is so I can see the games playing. None of them can review properly and some often get the latest gaming news weeks after its released. I prefer reading games magazines, they have good reviews, sometimes have playable demo's (depending which mag it is) and can be funny without being too annoying.

I stoped watching cybernet when they got confused with ISS and Pro Evolution soccer.

They were doing a review of Pro Evolution soccer while showing a video of ISS. These two games look very different graphically and it is beyond me who they could sod it up.

They video was shown for a good few minutes as well with the words Pro evo along the bottom of the screen.

Idiots.

Thumb bandits wasnt the best thing in the world but it was alright for a late night program on friday night.

Cybernet is so crap, the reviews are so generalised you have to take the time to think if they said it was good or bad, and the presenter's voice gets on my t**s. Thumb bandits is much better because the presenters actually grew up playing games, and they know what the are talking about. I.E NOT just reading the words thrown in front of him titled "Script". The presenters are actually funny, im not talking about the swearing, because to me that isnt humour. If you listen to what is coming from their mouth you will see the genius.

Cybernet, for some reason is only on at about 2.00am on Friday morning. I have to tape it, and no there is no annoying presenter pretending to be funny, thanlfully.

I agree with you there Lawless. Ian Lee somehow thinks that by swearing all the time when reviewing games, it makes him funny. It doesn't, it makes him bloody annoying. I like to watch Cybernet instead, it gets on with reviewing the games and doesn't bother with rubbing our noses in the fact that the presenters can play all the best games out, and we can't.

Speaking of which, why does Lee always have to use the word 's**t' every 5 minutes? I prefer GamePad on Bravo on Sky Digital. Sure, there's a presenter with a lisp, but it beats out casual presenters any day! Game Network is Ok, but to me, it seems very unorganised and just a congelomeration of video clips looping over and over again. Damn rich Italian punks! ;D
