The brilliant thing from Motorcross is whichever player is ahead gets frozen when the back bike hits the back of the screen.

I think the "Release everything... no, I mean everything" approach would make more sense if these games were a buck or two cheaper.  It's a solid concept but the games need to be more.... "disposable".  That's a good way to describe a service.  "This would be better if everything sold on it was more cheap and disposable!"
 
Granted, that's what a lot of these games feel like.  If they aren't actual classics, they're either short nostalgia trips or a way to cure morbid curiosity.

Yay, Broken Guy's back!
 
Atari Defender is crap, so Chopper Command's not a bad way to go. Well, I guess for that matter Air-Sea Battle plays a better game of Defender than Atari Defender.
 
I've never seen the arcade version of Konami's Ping Pong, but just looking at it makes me think that the C64 version is a pretty good conversion. I used to play that version a fair bit. Well, not a fair bit, but certainly more than a C64 emulation of table tennis probably deserved.

Kinda feels like Intellivision is getting the short end of the stick in these Quick Looks. Remember that these games were competing directly with the Atarri 2600. So compare if you will the Air Sea Battle with the Intellivision Motorcross game. Doing an isometric racer with jumps and everything (a la Excitebike but with turns too,) is incredibly sophisticated for the time. That's not to say it's a great game, it certainly looks like it has its issues, but I'm just sayin... (Yes I did have an Intellivision as a  kid, though not this game.)

It seems like M$ is kind of giving up on game room.  It's like no effort is being put in to expand this service into something truly awesome.  If it weren't for these Giant Bomb Quick Looks, I would have probably forgot that game room existed.

When I watch these I imagine that this is how that person you live with that doesn't play video games sees what you're doing.  And I think I feel bad about it.

Game Room's existence continues to be totally justified for the purpose of making these Quick Looks. And Air Sea Battle just does that to people sometimes. 
 
P.S. Is that Mario in the audience of Konami's Ping Pong? Apparently Ryan agrees with me.

"I feel like this thing is fucking my ears" is quote of the week. Then again, it can apply to at least half of the games in the Game Room.

I guess it doesn't sell too hot and the companies involved are growing increasingly wary of the whole thing.
