Equally surprising is the contestants feeble ability to play these games. The show implies that you have (I'm not sure about the actual time) one day to practice for these games. And then seeing uhm... the guy constantly calling out Dante, who has "fighting games" as his specialty, not get past level 3 against the AI in VF, and barely beating Dante one on one in it. It all seems random and theres no impressive skill set to be seen. Of course the editing plays its part here. You see what they decide to show you, and if theres someone fantastic at something they havent really shown it. Only thing that made me go "not bad" was Robert getting 80-something-K at the Offspring song, but Im assuming he was playing on expert which may not have been the case. A show like this should make you go "wow, these guys are good" but it doesnt. The format dictates that the loser of a round leaves the competetition. Geoff was booted out cause of Dance Dance Revolution. I just simply cant grasp the idea of a possible "ultimate gamer" losing the chance at recieving the honors due to being bad at DDR. Geoff: Your most impressive feat was to give the impression of an honest and nice guy. That is a fantastic achievement in a reality show. Too bad you didnt get the chance to show off your SC skills but hey, judging by the show there would be no chance in hell of that happening. | ||

Anyone notice how the brought past champions on to help people with games? That only can mean one thing. Kespa bought SciFi and the final challenge is a REAL game. | ||

If they pick a racing game... why not pick Forza 2 which is far superior to all the arcade crap out there? If they pick a fighting game... why not pick Tekken? On top of that you have what I'd call family games or the like. When they get to FPS I'm sure they will go with Halo (obviously using a gamepad) over a game like UT2K4 with mouse and keyboard.

Too bad you didnt get the chance to show off your SC skills but hey, judging by the show there would be no chance in hell of that happening. Yes, the show has so many flaws in that way. But it is just a reality show in a gaming setting, nothing more. The format people get eliminated is the way it is to create more drama. The games chosen are some new flashy games to attract more viewers. Imagine the show with a better elimination system, Starcraft, Quake, WC3, CS, Street Fighter, Chess and Poker and actualy skilled people. I guess a rhythm and a racing game too, because it is about all around gamer, but DDR AND Rock Band in the first 4 weeks? The only one actualy fitting the all-around gamer is in my opinion Dante. But then again we haven't seen too much of actual gameplay and they haven't been playing any RTS/FPS, which are the most important genres in gaming. It kinda makes sense that they dodge these genres, since they only play console games all the time. Geoff just got booted out in a game he never played, but that just means he is not really an all-around gamer. Sure, he would win the RTS week with his feet, but in the first 4 games he really wasn't good. If I may quote teh_masterer from Pure Pwnage : "if one wants to really pwn, one must pwn at every game". What really amused me were that they thought Geoff would be slow at that martial arts competition, because he is big. They don't know anything about sports :D. He is a body builder, that means he is also a sprinter. He is strong and fast. Didn't suprise me that he mowed through those boards. | ||

1. Rock Band 2. Virtua Figher 5 3. Project Gotham racing 4. DDR and 5. will be Halo Next game guesses: 6. Fifa 7. Halo Wars 8. Singstar 9. Call of Duty (on console ofc) 10. C&C3 (on xbox, what else?) Then they will have 2 people left, which will go into an epic battle of Wii fit, to decide who the ultimate gamer is. | ||

This is one way more money can continue to be brought into this sport, you have to see this especially with so many leagues dropping like flies. Maybe mainstream sponsors will see/hear about this and bring their dollars into the leagues and tournaments and other gaming related events. So please tune in tonight and for the remaining episodes and support the potential positive impact in gaming in general since Geoff isn't there anymore! | ||
