    Menu based child-killing FTL :( If I want to shoot children I want to shoot children. Not that they even are children anymore. One thing Ive been wondering is the character you play well... a character? Or are you just a formless lump?

    Also Jade Jade Jade la la la

  • souljacker2000 #2 5 years ago

  • X201 #6 5 years ago

    Thanks Rauper, here, have a Jaffa

  • WriterUK #7 5 years ago

    You know, I really like Johnny Minkley as a presenter, but please... ease off on the "I AM A TV PRESENTER LISTEN TO ME EMPHASISE MY WORDS!!!"

    Other than that, good show.

  • quantumsheep #8 5 years ago

    Great show!

    And you put Jade at the end just to make sure we watched it all, right? ;)

  • kissthestick #9 5 years ago

    one of the best EGTV's so far, good stuff guys, oh btw love the nude shirt at the beggining :)

  • Gl3n #10 5 years ago

    Nice one minkley.

  • Gl3n #11 5 years ago

    Are there any plans to incorporate this into iTunes? or would that distract too much from the site?

  • Razz #12 5 years ago

    Fuck me. These TV shows are badass.

    EGTV > Gamer.TV

  • Yossarian #13 5 years ago

    all the Jade-related stuff is creepy

    not that she's not pretty etc., and I recognise that's a novelty in the games industry, but come on

    "one of the best EGTV's so far"
    Couldn't agree more. I hope this gets green-lit for being available from Xbox Live.
    I hope Unreal Tournament 3 gets a big spot on a future show. We ought to know more about that, particularly the console versions, for the precedence they're setting for the series.

    I'm really excited about SC: Conviction. If it can deliver (and there's no reason to believe it won't, especially having seen the restaurant redecoration - which was anything but low-key, lol) then my faith in the series will be renewed. Stick to your guns, oh makers. Stuck skulking about in shadows is just old, after four games. The fact there was no lead character really grated on me, after a while. But, there's clearly a completely new direction for Conviction. It's not just that they've stripped all that back, but they've also added worthy features back in. So, that should be good. :) I especially like how, if something goes wrong, IT's NOT a mission failure. You just have to get a bit more creative. I'm just slightly concerned about Uber-cross pollination of ideas, but I do think that each team has a strong direction of it's own. So everything should turn out fine.

    Assassin's Creed is Assassin's Creed. All I know and have seen of it, promise fun times ahead. Everything they've shown, I like. Details are thin on the ground, so so's my feedback got to be about that.
    Bioshock's coming sooner, and I admit I nearly submitted "potential GOTY" myself, this morning, in one of the threads about it, before I thought it ludicrous. Though, I have full belief in the direction, approach and what's been shown before for this. That demo can't arrive soon enough - So I can talk - informed - Bioshock, more. 2K surely have something wonderful here! :)

    HAZE. I like it's ideas, and I think it could do well, but it remains a secretive (too?) secretive game. So, that's a barrier to me getting really enthusiastic about it. Hopefully E3 will see the curtain rise. Cripes, Ubi's going to be busy, in a month!

    In terms of Soccer, I know I'm getting a soccer game, I just don't yet know which one. Word is, that Konami grew complacent, and EA's caught up, or even overtaken them in terms of delivering a competent game. I've played a little PES in the past, and I've played more FIFA. I'll need to see more coverage, before I'll be able to decide. Mo-cap does not, solely, a beautiful game, make.

    There has been a successful strategy game on consoles, before, too: Phantagram's Kingdom Under Fire - the first. Took a lot of people by surprise, earnt an expansion pack, and pretty much hasn't been heard of since. (Outside of the Circle of Doom trailer, on Marketplace.)

    But, yes, EG, fantastic show. Very entertaining. :D

  • Mercatoria #15 5 years ago

    I do like this show. Why is it not on TV?

  • Raymeister #16 5 years ago

    Great show gents.

    Jade Raymond, you are rather lovely.

  • Deepo #17 5 years ago

    I'm not a big football fan, but that Ronaldinho bit was simply excellent! Who is doing the voice over?

  • Nesty #18 5 years ago

    haha listen to Atlas accent! he's a Dub! (i.e. from Dublin :p )

  • armyourfists #19 5 years ago

    Loved the Ronaldhino voice over :).

  • mazzl #20 5 years ago

    nice show agree with making it a download, would be nice!
    there's a lot of goodness comming :)

  • Lumines #21 5 years ago

    A definate improvement in the show content compared to previous episodes.

    And I also agree about that t-shirt at the begning, nice touch :)

    Lets just hope you guys can be the EU's version of the 1Up Show. As that is the best video games show that I've come across, in terms of content, presentation and pure quality.

  • Brogan #22 5 years ago

    that Atlus chap has the most stereotypical Irish accent i've heard, what's the betting where you finally get to him he as a pig under his arm.

  • grounded_dreams #23 5 years ago

    Great episode as always :¬)

    Anyone know which Richard Ashcroft song was played on the Assassin's Creed/credits section?

  • FWB #24 5 years ago

    Interesting dubbing over Ronaldinho. He's a little bit woo, a little bit weh.

    Crowd play. Its the new black.

  • CableNut #25 5 years ago

    the song is UNKLE ft richard ashcroft
    lonley souls

  • Donny #26 5 years ago

    Great show, Ubisoft really have some good games coming up.

  • ring_piece #27 5 years ago

    The last 10 seconds there of Jade.

    She's so cute. Cute as a button. That girl.

  • The-Bodybuilder #28 5 years ago

    I found the presenters shirt offensive.

  • Dale_Gribble #29 5 years ago

    Great episode thanks.

    Ronaldinhos voice lol.

  • Lukus #30 5 years ago

    "Back off mate!"- Haha.

  • salvadorlimones #31 5 years ago

    Btw it's Tranquillo Barnetta not Barnetto. Good job on the accents though!

  • Orange #32 5 years ago

    Nice one.

  • Smugglarn #33 5 years ago

    Don't dub you wankers - use subtitles for f#&"s sake!

    I hardly understood what that moron dubber said, and I am fluent in the English language - not chav mumbling.

  • deafwing #34 5 years ago

    nice

  • wayn3h #35 5 years ago

    Great show! This shiz belongs on TV 'yo!

  • Sneerk #36 5 years ago

    Another superb episode. Congrats on your arm finally working Minkey!
    Bioshock looks great, assasins creed looks great, and motion capture seems fun.
    And Jade, you WILL be the future mother of my children...

  • kid666 #37 5 years ago

    damn, i wish this was available for download on gametrailers in HD :)

  • DDevil #38 5 years ago

    EGTV is really finding it's stride with these shows. Nice one!

  • Ryze #39 5 years ago

    Hurry up and make it downloadable already!

    Only bother if it's in AVC so the iPod / PSP can play it too.

  • evilashchris #40 5 years ago

    Best one yet, thanks!

  • Escape #41 5 years ago

    Eurotrashgamer? Johnny's no Antoine though, he didn't even do Sit On Me with Jade. More ET voiceovers in future please.

  • Ghettomurph #42 5 years ago

    Loved the cockney voiceover for Ronaldinho, although he has to be one of the ugliest people on the planet! Bioshock, SC and Assassins Creed look brilliant, Jade is a right stunner!

    Get these shows on the telly instead of that crap on Rapture and Bravo!

  • gaselite #43 5 years ago

    The show featured some absolutely great looking games, not just great looking but games that seem to have a bit of intelligence behind them, worked on by intelligent people. It was very encouraging actually.

    Nice touch with the UNKLE. And it's been done to death but Ms Raymond really is gorgeous.

  • Kilters #44 5 years ago

    Best show yet. By far.

  • kentmonkey #45 5 years ago

    Sod Jade, sometime between 15:50-15:53 there is 3 seconds of absolute joy that will prove exactly why the Wii is the bext 'next-gen' system by far!!!!!
    \o/

  • Rictor001 #46 5 years ago

    oh come on - are we all buying into the Assassin's creed hype purely cos Jade Raymond is a bit pretty?

    Don't get me wrong - I'm really looking forward to the game but I'm sick and tired of seeing the same pre-rendered videos and handful of screen shots.

    So what if you showed 3 new areas - where's the actual gameplay footage?!?!?!

    and Minkley- you know you've had better!

  • famous_roy #47 5 years ago

    As far as video game related Tv goes, this is some of the best I've seen. Shutup all you critical pretentious so and so's, its a bit of fun, well presented and informative, perfick.
