I was just looking at the add at the top of the BBS and it showed the video game show I heard about on GSN. Thet problem is that my cable provider took away GSN(and TV land!) so I can't watch it (or reruns of Threes Company). So I was looking for some reviews to see if it is interesting.

I seen it before... I dont have any real complaints about the quality of their reviews.

I've seen it too, and some of it is good (it thought real highly of Guilty Gear X2, months after it was released). Though, I think they use bits of another show called Game Sauce as part of the show. What bugged me was when they got a guy from Gamepro magazine to talk about the scariest games, and he said he preferred Silent Hill 2 over SH3. I thought that was really wrong IMHO.

But overall, its good to have a video game show that talks about games, and not competition.

I remember watching the review of GGX2 on Electric Playground or whatever it is now (G4TV). One guy (who apparently did the music for Earthworm Jim/2, I used to look up to him) gave it a 4 or somesuch, saying that once you've abused one move, you just abuse the next, and the modes were boring etc...

I mean, it's like he only played 5 minutes of it :/ Seriously. The other guy at least said there was depth to it (thank god).

Still, Tommy Talirico (sp?) is an idiot.

I also was reading the december issue of PSM (yeah, I'm going off on a tangent again) gave the game a 9, and said it was a must buy for the year.

GGX2 seems to be either (sleeper) hit or miss with any review.

They also show game sauce on G4TV, in case you want to watch a whole episode or something...

So...how about those...things....

Well, everyone has an opinion. I happen to think that a majority of RPGs (including the Final Fantasy games) are crap. I also think the Street Fighter series is okay, but a little overrated. But both of these have huge followings of fans. Can so many people be so wrong? Yes and no. The truth is that it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Oh so its a review preview show then? I was hoping for an actual game show like a new Nick Arcade or something like that.
