Title: Gameswipe
Post by: drummer on Sep 30, 2009, 01:59:56
Or, to be accurate, Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe on BBC4

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n1j8q

Charlie Brooker's cynicism has always chimed with mine, and he's no stranger to the world of gaming.  Well worth a watch if you're a gamer but it does contain strong language if that's an issue.  A superb analysis of past and present games from someone who actually cares.

It's also a funny and insightful rant about the mainstream media's gaming ignorance.

Essential viewing for those who care about gaming.

Thanks for popinting this out Drummer, Charlie Brooker has long been a favourite of mine both in the press and with his cynical look at the media as well on TV.

I downloaded and watched it on iplayer when I went on holiday.  Parts of it were good......
