    I just remember the tournament style one where if you lost in a round you were tossed into the pit.

    Yeah, I vaguley remember it and what I remember is that I don't want to remember. You'd think it'd be easy to create a games program. It'd be relatively cheap (unless you want to start sending people off to interview developers) and it's got wide appeal.

    We could start one ourselves but I don't have the body of Olivia Munn (or Patrick Moore).

    Oh how I HATE Poochy TV.

    Although I did like that Gamesville show. The guys were obviously real gamers with a fair bit of interest in gaming. I used to like the retro section they did and actually liked the guru when they decided he was funnier when giving abuse. Plus you had the cuties who did the mobile and freebie games. Their reviews were also pretty unbiased. I also liked how they would not hold back when playing the kid guests and, more often than not, would hammer them.

    I used to also love When Games Attack. Bring back Dominik Diamond and Violet Berlin. All shows presented (And, at least in the case of WGA and Gamepad) written/produced by game fans

    Come on, the average gamer is now in their mid to late 20s at this stage with a long memory of gaming and a genuine interest in the history/progression/future of gaming. We don't want "Crazy yoof camera angles" and "wicked in-yo-face" cliches spouted by professional (read polished and non-gaming) presenters

    Little bastards playing video games, phrases like "the graphics on this are wicked." That Guru, I actually hated the programme as a whole.

    Well I used to like the retro corner and used to enjoy watching the lads whip the kids in games. Could've done without the actual kids themselves obviously.

    But seriously, how expensive would it be to actually do a decent show aimed at the current gamer age (Mid 20s to early 30s apparently). Coupla cameras, couple of each console and a MAME cab :)

    I'd say it would cost next to nothing to make. A dodgy studio, decent presenters and video capturing software. You could even take a movies games and videos approach with just images and voice overs and talking heads.

    The video capture card, thats what :)

    Also what you said about the tv contract isn't too far from the truth since it worked for the consolevania guys.

    The Movies, Games and Videos approach would be the way to go. You wouldn't need anything other than your pc, some software to capture video and any one of a number of free video editing packages.

    You know, I think we should. You never know how difficult it'll be until you try. And it can't be any worse than that junk they had on Network 2 years ago.

    A good modern example would be the Stuttering Craig "Video Game Vault" reviews on GT. Love those retro reviews, not as involved as AVGN, but he doesn't limit himself to just bad games. It's a mix between an actual overview of the game and a comedy sketch.

    Love the VGV's, and the Top Tens are quite good too.

    Gaming TV shows just dont work in the modern age, the internet has made them obsolete like web-news casts are making newspapers and news shows less exclusive. If its only reviews you could get away with a show a week but most shows I have watched usually feature games that are months old. Probably due to production times, another reason a M,G&V approach would be best as no reshoots or extensive post-production needed.
