"Why is there no decent gaming shows on tv?"

Come on. Long gone are the days of gamesmaster(which was ok) so whats on the TV to provide us with gaming news?

Well you could watch Bits and Cybernet(hahahahahah dont make me laugh). Oh yeah, half 3 in the morning is a great time to have viewers wathing tv. Acually, i think its a good thing that those shows are on at that time coz the bits girls give gamers a bad reputation, making us look like sad, weird freaks.

Am i the only one that thinks a decent computer games show deservers to be on our televisions? Am i the only one who thinks the shows on at the moment are rubbish?

Your views please.

As u can tell i dont have sky. i only have 5 channels. Boo hoo feel sorry for me. its sad to think in this day and age a young person only has 5 channels to watch. Donations can be sent to this address...please give generously!

Blam was wicked but some foreigner won.

I think games programs are a great source to us gamers. I think in the future there will be a single games program where they review everything nicley, and later on, more programs will come along to try and beat it.

Games programs will bring in viewers to the channel so why don't they do it?

You see, gaming programs can show us what a game is really like to play, with videos that don't need to be downloaded, players opions etc. We can see what a game is like before we play it.

All I can say is : Screenshots aren't everything

Videogames were the biggest selling items last year so you'd've thought that some TV producer would've noticed that!

Does anyone remember that games show Bad Influence or whatever it wa called?

I’m glad someone brought this topic up.

I was too thinking the same thing for quite a while now, just thinking how good it could be. Not just for the gamer but for the people who run the show. They will get thousands of people watching it. There used to be a show called “Bits” on channel 4, but it’s on too late for me now. I keep falling asleep. Think how great a show could be, have some gamers reviewing games and play testing them and then giving us their honest verdict. Also, showing us previews of games.

They could give us chances to win games too. There was also another show on sky 1 called “BLAM!!” but that’s finished now.

I think they should have it on twice a week, Saturday and Sunday. It would just be great wouldn’t it?! I am sure it would help me, and many others deciding what games we should get next.

I read somewhere that there will be a show called “bleeding thumbs” which sounds good. I read this about a year ago now though, so it could be false info :(

So come on you TV people, put something on the box worth watching!

a week ago there was a good program called thumb candy that took you through the gaming worlds past.
