Quick Look: Game Room for 07/28/10

YES!

back in the saddle

oh so close

nice

more games that shouldn't be released.

Wheres Ryan? I mean I don't care who I get when it comes to Quick Looks. In fact Jeff and Vinny are my favourite team but I thought it was Jeff and Ryan for games room?

Yay, Vinny!

Where's Bodega?!?

Game Room Quick Looks are some of my favourite videos on the site right now.  Excellent to see VInny back in Jeff's Game Room!

Jeff should be given is own personal Game Room patch that adds more floors for arcade machines.

Man Asteroids SUCKS on the 2600.

I was bored and BOOOM five minutes later a quick look appears on the site, seems like something that happens all the time lately, me being bored = new videocontent from Giantbomb :D

Giant Bomb are the kings of long, tedious gameplay sequences played for comedic effect.

I don't own a 360 and don't plan on getting one, but these videos rock.

 Wow, another horrible week of releases on Game Room.  I swear it's almost time to put this dead horse down.

Decathlon - "Track and Field" for the 2600.  You had to rock the 2600's joystick back and forth as fast as possible to make your on-screen character run faster… because the 2600 lacked multiple buttons.  My brother and I destroyed so many joysticks on this game back in the day it wasn't funny.  Doesn't translate to the analog stick well AT ALL.

Asteroids 2600 - Why are they INSISTING on releasing the arcade and 2600 roms of so many games, so close together?  I can see this for "completeness" of the collections, but damn… give it a while and release some OTHER roms.

Auto Racing - Intellivision - Just as horrible as that top-down motorcycle racing game ALREADY on Game Room.  Also, side note.  I remember back when the 2600 and Intellivision were the only consoles on the block we owned was the 2600.  I only knew a few people that owned Intellivisions, and they were ADAMIT that the Intellivision was THE BEST console with THE BEST games… really?  UGH.  What a piece of junk.

Frostbite - Boring "frogger" clone.

wooo more junk.

Whore-a

" @Ninja: No, there have been a few Jeff and Brad ones, I actually think Jeff and Brad is the best pair. "

W00t! My favorite weekly web series, Jeff and his Nostalgia Destroy his Wallet! 
 
Keep up the great work guys :D

I liked how it dissolved into StarCraft chat during the decathlon and Asteroids part.

Another history lesson in the world of video games.

How much longer will Game Room keep going do you think? I'm just waiting for the inevitable headline: "Game Room Kill Screen Coming Up"

I wanted to see some high class frostbite play.

" I was bored and BOOOM five minutes later a quick look appears on the site, seems like something that happens all the time lately, me being bored = new videocontent from Giantbomb :D "

Where are these acoustic versions of rap songs they're talking about? I would like to hear them >_>

BATMAN!

The asteroids addition is actually just a teaser for the new kickass asteroids movie in the making, I see right through you hollywood!

Seaquest is basically Chopper Command in reverse, but it's just as good.
 
Game Room needs one thing to make it way better, SEGA.

Time to break some controllers!

Ice spiders?

" Is Activision's H.E.R.O. (Atari 2600/1984) already out yet, if someone knows? Possibly the finest game on the system. "

Frostbite. Destruction TWO POINT O!

" @zityz: they might have put up Yar's Revenge. The name sounds familiar. "

That beep in asteroids made me look at the phone every single time.

I actually bought Frostbite last night and I think it's pretty fun.  Also you can get two gold medals easy.
 
Let's also note that this is the week Jeff has now spent over $300 in Game Room:
 
30 + 7(4) + 5(9) = 103(3) = 309
 
I would only hope that this has been justified as a "company expense".

The guy in frostbite is pretty wimpy if 0* Fahrenheit(-18*c) is too cold for him.

Now I know where the Simpsons got their inspiration for the jailbreak game.  Only I think you played as the criminal in the Simpsons version.

Is it possible to report players for cheating on Game Room?  That Jail Break high score is total bs and needs to be removed.

Dude, they should've used Decathlon to train for the Deadly Premonition ER! 

Vinny should have played that first game what with all those action bits at the end of Deadly Premonition he should be trained up for this.

I love these Game Room QLs!

You know if they ever were to put up Dreamcast games, they'd be like 800 points.

I'm also curious about the guitar rap stuff they're talking about.
