I'm assuming you want more recent games but gameinformer have been doing a video series call Replay on their site. More akin to the quick look throwbacks, they've also done a spinoff from it where they play the entirety of a more well known game, mario 3 and resident evil 2 for example.NeoZylom said:
Don't quite have the same humour as the gb guys but they're a fun series if videos and cool to see some random older games.
ArjanN said:
it's still ugly mishmash of many games , the game's combat is poor and the controls broken.
NeoZylom said:
there are few but bad ones ( like the 4 guys in TGWTG ) , I am actually surprised that not every site copied GB's video heavy style and the QLs , I remember when 1up came up with their shitty show everyone were copying it.
Might not be quite what you are looking for but enjoying GB has led me to learn about Let's Plays where essentially a person or two play through a game. Something Awful has a whole forum of just them and they can be either screenshot or video. Most are hit and miss but there are quite a few that are fantastic.

from the QL , it's nice lil tech demo , but no , it don't worth the $10 imo , actually nothing I saw in the QLs worth it's price or the Disc release, again Sports Champions lacks features ( online ) and has few mini games and should be like $20 or less , Start the Party is bad Eyetoy Play clone with few mini games , Kung Fu Rider is also the same.

Man, I know you hate on everything. But did you actually just call The 1UP Show shitty? Really?

Jeff and Ryan playing "Let's start the Party" was one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've seen.
Footage of them visibly gritting their teeth and doggedly waving Move while frankly annoying as heck "announcer" babbling on obliviously is priceless :lol
I have an urge to pat them on their shoulders; Good work, guys. Good work.

Kung Fu Rider reminds me so much of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. >_>
That said, I love the Giantbomb QLs, but I don't trust these guys as far as motion controls are concerned. They have the uncanny ability to make things look even shittier and more awkward than I ever could. Especially Jeff and Ryan. :lol
- motion control launch title
- mostly tilt control style
- shitty graphics
- shitty game

those bastards cracking jokes, cause they were to scared to take game srsly
Jay-B said:
nice , I miss this type of horror games when they left the player in isolated dark places , the horror genre need more of this and less guns and action.
the insanity thing here is a copy from Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth insanity system , and that is not bad thing since it was one of the few good thing about that game.

yeah, see it all the time in theatres during horror movies. Vinny's a big girly man.

Maybe I'm misremembering something, but I definitely recall them saying on a couple Bombcasts that none of them really like horror games because they're total sissies. And it makes sense, too - remember the Silent Hill quick looks? :lolfizzelopeguss said:

I remember one of the first Quick Looks they ever did was some game on the Wii where you played as a spider or something. I think it was called Deadly Creatures. I have never heard Jeff & Ryan so uncomfortable.
AnEternalEnigma said:
it was not because it's scary game , it was because it has spiders and iirc all of the four ( Ryan , Jeff ,Brad and Vinny ) have spider phobia (Arachnophobia ).
I went through SOTC with small stamina bar because I just try to avoid seeing these scary lizards in it, since I myself have serious Scoliodentosaurophobia ( lizard phobia ), I can't stay anywhere near any lizard , can't sleep in the house if I know there is a lizard in it , run away like a lil girl if there is a lizard in my room and even get hyperventilating sometimes if some lizard surprise me near a door or something
I just re-watched the Deadly Creatures QL and Ryan didn't shows any signs of being creeped out at all. He actually quite Jeff's reactions to everything. He can't bare to look at the legs, haha. Weird thing Jeff mentions: his mother collects spiders. Don't know if he was joking or not, but that might explain his arachnophobia.
You should watch the Deadly Creatures QL to hear Jeff squirm. You can hear Vinny in the backround, too. The game actually doesn't look half bad, from a novelty stand-point.
I killed every last one of them to get enough stamina so I could climb to the garden at the top of the temple. Took a while, but it was kinda neat to scour the land for them. Saw a few places I never would have otherwise. The meter becomes almost invisible if you find all of them, too, because it would cover the entire screen otherwise.I went through SOTC with small stamina bar because I just try to avoid seeing these scary lizards in it, since I myself have serious Scoliodentosaurophobia ( lizard phobia ), I can't stay anywhere near any lizard , can't sleep in the house if I know there is a lizard in it , run away like a lil girl if there is a lizard in my room and even get hyperventilating sometimes if some lizard surprise me near a door or something

Ýou guys should buy Amnesia. Probably the scariest game I have ever played and among the most intense gaming-experiences I've had in a while. For 20 bucks it's a fucking steal.

It wasn't bad in the least, but it tanked hard enough that my Intro to Game Development professor (who is one of the 15 or so people left out of over a hundred at what's now called THQ Digital Phoenix) glossed over it when talking about what games he's worked on. :lolRufus said:

That's untrue. Sounds like they were hoping for this to be their big break, but it has only done ok. So money will continue being quite tight for their next project, and they're exploring their options as a result.
Or well, I guess it depends on your definition of "close to". If their next game does worse it might be game over. :\

We have a thread about the game. The poster on GB isn't well-informed.kylej said:
Please don't just relay messages from other sites like that, it's bad form, especially if it's so reduced.
And Brad wouldn't be able to write much more than what was said in the Frictional blogpost. So it's pretty much the same as regurgitating press releases if you think about it.
