UKGameshows finally gets around to reviewing the show: http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weav...eek_2016-10-23
Some reasonable criticisms, many of which have been seen upthread. |

This programme is genuinely awful - one of the worst things ever aired. Amazing they decided to allow the second one to go out given the embarrassment of the first one. Dara is usually great, but the fact that even he knows it is sh1t is shown by his touchiness to criticism about it on Twitter.
Everyone involved should be ashamed. |

Curious to see what future guests they get and whether they take the feedback on board re: the spinning stage. |

Ehhh, most of the celebs on the show clearly were not gamers in series one.

Great news!
![]() Channel 4 and BBC are idiots, there has been a big audience waiting for years for an updated version Gamesmaster or even Games World. |

Ellie Gibson and Steve McNeill make the show watchable and if they are allowed to pick some better games to play in series 2 and 3, it may be worth a look. |

Glad to see more series coming but they do need to dig a bit better to play the old classic games and also use the old classic control methods.
Annoyed me that they often were using brand new fancy-dan controllers instead of proper joysticks for games that would only ever have been played with joysticks. If you're going to play an Amiga game like Sensible Soccer, then you play it with a classic joystick like these! http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc98f513b.png https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rc...83528874367666 There was always a certain skill using a normal joystick that had only one "fire" button operation. Mastering the combo moves on Mortal Kombat or the after-touch on Sensi separated the gamer from the master! |

Yes, very tricky to get the heart-rip special move by Kano with an amiga joystick.
Dara O'Brian is a spoofer btw, he referred to the sega "Genesis" several times in the series. He did not grow up in North America, he has bugger all interest in games. |

And guess what? I love video games and call it the Sega Genesis because that's what it's more commonly known as, the Mega Drive just sounds a bit bleh. |

Yep, pretty sure I still have the original Megadrive packaging box somewhere and I am sure it never had Genesis mentioned on it anywhere. Before the days of the web, none of us in UK or Ireland and Europe I think, would have had a clue what "Genesis" was.
