      Wonder if it'll be like a gaming version of Popstars? You have to play a handful of games in front of a panel of judges, and then the token mean judge will begin to bad mouth your racing line in GT Concept and poor combo strings in C vs SNK, basically telling you you've got the gaming skills of a retarded circus chimp. Can't wait! Where do I sign?

              No, its just that its not really a proper game is it? Theres no real aim or skill involved. Surely a games challenge show should have the nations best gamers playing challenging games. Don't you think?

                How are you supposed to demonstrate pure l33tn355 on these games? (apart from Capcom vs SNK) - I mean, how they gonna do a Dancing Stage event???? - you cant do dance routines on this game (due to the poorly designed step sheets and apalling mat) and there is nothing more boring than watching a DDR score attack

                I hate it here ft:

                They should host it on games which people are actively challenging on:

                VF4 EVO
                Soul Calibur 2
                Initial D
                Pump It Up: Prex 2

                All these games are getting RINSED in the arcades - it would be far more interesting to watch sick gamers who put time into practice their skill. I used to hate watching the clueless twats on Gamesmaster etc

                I. Hate. It. Here. - need to move to Japan.

                  There's l33tn355 to be had on Monkeyball 2 too - but on the whole, the game selection is big dog's knob.

                    Yeah, pretty bad choice of games, although Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Super Monkey Ball 2, Capcom vs SNK 2 EO and maybe TimeSplitters 2 but all the other games don't really make me want to watch it. Some people won't watch it because they dont llike gamnes, others will be disappointed
