Ishmael Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Charlie Brooker sets his caustic sights on video games. Expect acerbic comment as he looks at the various genres, how they have changed since their early conception and how the media represents games and gamers. Features interviews with Dara O'Briain, sitcom scribe Graham Linehan and Rab and Ryan from Consolevania. Brooker fans on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thought Newswipe was his best work yet, like him a lot. Don't really know anything about games or gaming but I'll probably give this a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Remember reading some of his old reviews in PC Zone. Absolutely perfect forum for him: slagging off games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We must remember that Yahtzee is the king of comedy game put-downs http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation Aye, but I suspect Brooker will have a lot of behind the scenes stuff like Screenwipe. Explaining why a title get rushed to market, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Really enjoyed that, some fantastic blast from the past moments. Anyone see Flashback in the shop over that kids shoulder? Loved that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved that game. Yeah, that game was complete class. Great music too, thanks to a guy known in the demoscene as 'Audiomonster'. Won't mean much to many people but he was awesome.

Guest Heneage Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Gamesmaster. I used to love Dominic Diamond. Did anyone watch 'When Games Attack' on Bravo with him? They have a great nack for making good little video game shows but putting them on at terrible times like Sunday at 9, or Monday-Friday at 4am.
