<div class="IPBDescription">worst. Games-show. ever</div>
I've been watching this show on and off and, I must admit I now watch it for laughs.
I think they screw up in every single show they air. They were obviously aiming for the console gamers, because no serious PC GAMER could possibly take this show seriously.
The presenters seem to add/remove points for a game if it has 3D graphics or not. A Typical Shallow approach to reviewing I must say. The rest of the G-team arent as bad as the presenters, and seem to actually know what they are doing. Although they do get things wrong sometimes.
Like the quote from Gabe Newell a few months back where he states that if he "had to delay Hl2 to 2005" he would. Along with others on the internet who took this completely the wrong way, so did the G-team. Basically telling anyone watching that Hl2 looks like its going to be delayed till 2005. Not a clever thing to do.
One of the presenters walks on over to a game he's probably never played before in his life. Listens to a member of the G-team who has played it give a score and his reasons. And then pretends he knows what he's talking about. WELL, YOU DONT. And it shows.
One of the presenters was reviewing Secret Weapons over Normandy. The G-team member standing next to him had already told him the title of the game, and so he amazingly managed to get it wrong, giving a score to "Secret Weapons of World War II" never heard of that one...
Went to the website <a href='http://www.gamezville.tv/' target='_blank'>http://www.gamezville.tv/</a> to see if I could ask why these guys get it wrong SO MANY TIMES when I noticed this little snippet:

A while ago we featured the fantastic Xbox Wireless 'Neo S' Controller. While Sarah got it spot on, we incorrectly stated in the caption the wrong manufacturer.

Notice the Huge "JOYTECH" lettering on the Gamepad? The person they hired to do their research obviously didnt notice.

If you go to their website they have Disabled Right clicking. Wouldnt want to STEAL THEIR PICTURES NOW WOULD I? Unfortunately they havent heard of Printscreen.
even more amusing is that I managed to get the properties window up by right clicking even though the Pop up box told me I couldnt. Some shoddy coding right there. So those pictures you see linked above me are the ones directly from their website.
Dont get me started on the massive "HEAD2HEAD" sessions where they get two people to Button Bash their Controllers as much as possible while the G-team commentate on their Amazing skills. My 3 year old brother can bash a game-pad. There's nothing Skillfull about it. trust me.
I personally want to find out who thought of Swapping "S" with "Z" to deliberately misspell the title of the program was going to appeal to anyone over the age of 12.
Its not cool. Its not clever. It just looks stupid.
Sorry about all this. I just felt the need to let off a little steam.
I'm sure the guys are just doing their job, But it really is an awfull program. I feel sorry for them. Well, the cool members of the G-team anyway.
The presenters are laughable. really.

Comments
Take, for example, every known commercial with video games on the planet. they contain
1. Really Old Noises.
2. Button Mashing.
3. Stupidity.
It seems like the executives are tapping into a culture they have no information on whatsoever, and are just making up things along the way. Also see the sitcom about a "gamer family". Do not watch it if you are a gamer. Your FACE WILL EXPLODE FROM THE RAW IDIOCY CONTAINED WITHIN.
I honestly don't know how people grew up and got so.... obivious to everything because they are adults and think everything they do is right.
/Rant
That would be It. Yes.

TRY HARDER.
I love Gamezville. Look at it, love. Look at it. It's for kids! The presenters aren't exactly gamers like you or I, but they're not totally clueless either. And The Guru is The Man. I saw him answer (insolent) questions about Megaman's female buddy Roll and Ninja Gaiden, so things could be worse. Not like they're telling us which the best Pokemon is, right? It's fun! In fact, the more I think about it, the presenters are just about perfect for the task. Nerds don't make good kids TV, love. You don't want some pasty beard-oh prattling on about his Ikaruga top score on primetime Sky TV, see? They work well together and they're clearly yoof culture.
If you want a games show for us, give the (really really excellent) <a href='http://www.consolevania.com/' target='_blank'>Consolevania</a> a try.
I rate it 4 Gs.
I hate mainstream.

If that wasnt a joke Flint. I seriously question your sanity, and your ability to distinguish bad TV from Good <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
BRING BACK THE ANIMAL. Oh, I'm so downloading the last episode <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've also seen this show on Sky, and it is hilarious. The Guru does seem like a nonce though.
Flint, you're random man. Really. I'm with norn, was that post above a joke or not? [EDIT :: CLARITY :: The Post Above his last one, not the one quoted. ]
As for the show, I never watch gaming related television, I usually just read on the net or in PC Gamer or EGM. Really, when I think about it, I don't watch much TV at all.

Gamesmaster should never even be SEEN with the word Gamezville. It is not worthy of comparing!
Gamesmaster was the god of Gaming TV. Its quite obvious the Games Guru is a cheap rip-off of the floaty headed goodness of the Gamesmaster himself.
edit: whoops. forgot to "mispell" the title of the program. Damn me with my English and spelling skills.
You won't regret it, for as it is writ in the Bible; "leadeth your flock under Diamond, for he is the bringer of light - be wary of the Perry!"

Also, please download Consolevania. If you want a hardcore games show, you've got it right there.
All of Gamezville's slaters have either not even watched an episode, or not viewed it as a kids show. Truth.
I view it as a kids show alright. Its just painfully obvious they are trying to get away from that. And failing. Utterly and totally.

Did you eat paint chips as a kid, Flint?
~ DarkATi
No love. Gamesmaster tried to get away from being a kids show, as seen by Diamond's silly sexual innuendo and repeated attempts at getting a later timeslot. Gamezville acts gangsta to appear big to small children. Do you see?
I'd say quite large chunks of paint chips Dark Ati.
Either my torrent is broken, or absolutely <b>none</b> of you have decided to download one of the best things ever.
You all suck.
I'm not even joking.

I'm downloading, althought 1Kb per second is not even funny. I will persevere.
Nobody said the journey to Paradise Island would be easy, love.
Sky/Angel One?
Thats a Christian station over here...
Sky One, 11PM: Bras Unpadded
Sky One, 12PM: How **** Are You?
Probably not the same channel.
When did they stop showing Deep Space Nine at 11PM, anyway?
