Gaming programs on Sky.

TinCanMan

Are there any gaming programs on the Sky platform at present? Relatively up-to-date with reviews etc....

SolvableKnave

Nothing I've ever heard of tbh.

IvoryTower

there is one...cant think of the name..

Videogame Nation on Challenge every Saturday morning at 10am. No idea if it's any good but I saw it advertised yesterday

IvoryTower

thats the one!! I quite enjoy it, they usually pick a new release and base most of the episode around it. like when alien isolation was coming out, the episode was about all the previous aliens game. with shadow of mordor they done the same with LOTR games, with the evil within they done top ten horror games ever etc

Kids nowadays will never know the joy of awaiting a weekly episode of your favourite Gaming show on old Irish Multichannel :P

How is one to know how many Gs a game deserve?

Big boy barry is now a community manager for the gaming peripheral maker, madcatz. You'll see him occasionally at fighting game events, somewhat less biggerer. I know someone who considers him a good friend

As another poster said above, the one on Challenge on Saturday mornings isn't bad. I think one of the guys from Outside Xbox is on it too.

Nothing there though that will match Gamesmaster, Gamesworld or even BITS (Emily Booth, yes please )

Stone Deaf 4evr

Murphys Micro quiz-m was where it was at.

There was a gaming channel out for a while 3 or 4 years ago. Decent enough.

Yeah if I recall it was called something like x league. Was a bit before its time, what with the proliferation of esports now it might do much better.

Ha, for some reason I would just sit and watch that Legend or Mir show all the time, thought it looked great and always wanted to play it. Think the channel was Game Network. Had some awful presenters haha.

Zero-Cool

I'd definitely watch a friendly gaming competition (non COD mental kids screaming at each other) tv show. Ah the memories of Games World and GamesMaster. I always said I could beat Big Boy Barry and Games Messiah!!!

Cause f**k knows those 2 plebs couldn't play a game for $hit.... remember how one of them was the "racing expert" *shudder*

Ah, Aoife on Videogame Nation.

My brother pointed out one on TG4 called Cluiche Thart. Can't remember the day it's on.

Bad Influence was great as well. Always remember the cheats guy with the Mortal Kombat DULLARD cheat stuck to his head.

I remember watching Gamepad on Bravo in the early 2000's.

Mainly because of Violet Berlin's tight tops though.

It was the late night one with the three girl presenters. I'm not saying there wasn't a robot, I just don't remember it.

EDIT: That makes it sound smutty, it wasn't.
