Just wondering if there any decent gaming review prgrams on the telly? I used to watch Gamesville on Skyone but it was months behind. I caught the tail end of one on Bravo this afternon that seemed pretty good but i can't remeber the name it. Game network just seems to the same boring crap day in day out with 3/4 of the day being taken up by those stupid little text games and the seemingly pointless game guru, yeah we know how to use the cheat sites too :razz:

So are there any other decent shows? if so what channel and time are they on?

Thanks
Bryan

There are 2 on Bravo IIRC, one is "Gamer TV" and the other "When Games Attack". They're normally on one after the other.
Other than that there's a show called "Cybernet" at about 3am on a Friday morning I think.

None of them are particularly good, but Gamer TV is probably the best of them and shows the most recent stuff.

Gamer TV's the best. Everyday at 5p.m. but i think there's only one new episode a week on Wednesday.

Gamer TV actually shows decent in-game footage and is pretty up to date, but the "invisible" presenter has the most annoying mockney voice known to mankind... I sit there praying that the woman who occasionally comments on stuff does the voiceover instead.

yeah GamerTV is good, up-to-date and quite funny for a Game show.

When Games Attack is always old repeats and it never seems to be the one with Lucy Pinder on a Dance Machine! :(

Dear When Games Attack,

Watching two z-grade footballers playing a football game for what feels like half the show does not make for good telly.

When Games Attack is shoddy at best; made me chuckle that Diamond spent his entire Edge interview slagging off the poor state of gaming TV, then pulled that limp mess from his trousers.

The low point was the dog weeing on a Virtual Boy.

I would've weed on it (on mine, even) if they'd asked me... and I actually screamed when they cut that 3DO FZ-1 in half with a chainsaw...

GIVE IT TO ME YOU FOOLSSSS!

Isn't that written by the erudite Jon Cybernet from round these parts?

I only bother with Gamer TV and Cybernet.Of the 2,Gamer TV is by far the best. (seen all of "When Games Attack".....unless a 2nd series is on now !?)

Forget the shows on TV and just watch www.consolevania.com
It's a show made by gamers for gamers and it knocks spots off anything standard television has come up with.

the cybernet top 10's are hillarious (sp?) they usually manage to put a few decent games in them, then come out with something like fifa street as the best ps2 game, closely followed by harry potter quiddich world cup :lol: maybe they are sponsored by EA :suspect:
