Fotr those of you who do nopt know last week Gamer TV did it's last episode, it was a big dissapointment for me since I loved watching there shows and I always loved Sam Delaney since he was always being sarcastic and he was incredably funny. The first episode aired December 2002. In October 2005, the UK edition briefly changed name to "Gamer TV: Next Gen" for 12 episodes that featured host Sam Delaney on screen. In January 2006, Gamer TV reverted back to its traditional name and Sam Delaney's narration. On 14 September 2007 the series celebrated its 250th episode. On the 25 November 2007 episode, Gamer.tv changed it's scoring system from out of 5, to out of 10.
In the UK, it has spawned two spin-offs, also aired on Bravo. The first is "Gamer's Guide To..." and then a different subtitle each week, such as PS3 or Wii, which showcases all the reviews from previous Gamer TV shows in a compilation of must own video games. The second is Gamer TV Extra which includes the production team revealing more on the games featured in that week's Gamer TV as well as some games exclusive to Extra.
The last episode was there 283rd and they reviewed Iron Man (7/10) and Final Fanatasy 7 I think (9/10) and they did a Grand Theft Auto Restrospective. The show didn't get replaced because it was bad, on the contrary, it is Bravo's most viewed TV show and has one loads of awards. The reason is that most game shows last about 2-6 years and then the comapny that produced the show go on to make another game show, seems a bit pointless since the show was at it's peak and was getting funnier and funnier every day. Unfortantly it did and now it's being replaced by a game show called Playr.
The first episode of it aired today, and now I know for sure they made a huge mistake. The narraortor has a annyyoing voice and he sounds like a mix between an Amercian, a English man and a robot, not a good combination. He never cracks jokes and he ijust sounds bored alot of the time, he dosn't even come close to beating Sam Delaney. The theme tune has been ruined and it just sounds dredafull, the layout of the show is mostly the same but they didn't really do any good games on it. Just some Jenga game for The Wii and a racing game for the DS.
That episode has put me off the show and now I'm just going to watch re-runs of the good old Gamer TV. Tell me what you think of the new show and your thoughts of Gamer TV. Oh and I ordered Angel Season 5 yesterday and that means my Angel and Buffy collection will be complte, I'll tell you more in tommrows video blog.
Seya!
