Quick Look: Game Room for 08/04/10

Nice.

yay
 
 
edit: fffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuu

New game room quick look. Yay!

Game room is..... GO!

Such wasted potential...

I wonder who will end the weekly Game Room quick looks first, Jeff or Microsoft?

Oh god, I was just wondering when this was going up, I have some sort of freaky ability to know these thing..

Two broken avatars up front. Yes.

It is a neat idea but to be honest the 2600 and Intellivision kinda sucked ass. They need more late 80's and early 90's Arcade games and maybe some legal pinball emulators before I get interested.

I've been eagerly awaiting this QL since...well yesterday. The games this week are total shit.

Tenth!

Game Room continues to not interest me.

Neat!

3D Tic-Tac-Toe?!?  That's orgasmic, baby!

cool

Alright, 2 broken avatars this week. Things are going great.

I love me some game room. They play it so I don't have to.

 
Great.

by God, it's a Quicklook.

So much content today - this will totally keep me productive here.

Hmm, 9 pylon and 12 gate. That sounds tough to counter...

Jeff missed the token that had a giant F on it!  That F must be fuel!

Wow.  Terrible.

COMMUTE BETTER!

At this point, I'm mostly watching these to watch for T-pose avatars.

"Here! Get in my spaceship! Now die!"
 
That sounds like a "don't accept rides from strangers in space" story if I ever heard one. Ah, game room. You're one expensive history lesson.

Halo 2600 QL. 
Yes, I want that!

I wonder if the circle with the F in it is fuel.

Any idea how much Jeff has spent on game room now?

How in God's name did neither Jeff or Brad notice the big floating circle with F for FUEL written on it as Jeff was running out of fuel :/ oh well...Game Room continues to disappoint, woo.

Game Room is awesome, but the games they keep releasing for it? Not so much. Get new partners already!

these are my favorite quick looks, i like to watch the whole game room story unfold

these are basiclly games that few people would buy alone on xbox live in such if a game was worth selling e.g. remake or selling for $10 plus in such what new hardware outside of nintendo and sega during this period would they use?

Game Room has a lot of potential, but they keep releasing crap games.

I've really been looking for something to make me want to get into game room.  unfortunately, none of it thus far is super appealing. 

this could have been so much cooler.

 Intellivision sucks....

Man, they should either just kill Game Room or give someone like Sega or Capcom a huge bag of money to put their games on it.

3-D Tic Tac Toe was designed by Carol Shaw, the woman who would later program River Raid. 
 
I wonder what the sales of Game Room are like. I envy people in the video game media who can get all this shit for free because only an Achievement Whore would pay for this.

I love that the computer in 3D Tic-Tac-Toe won with Jeff's example.

Every week this turns from feigned interest into despondent conversation about the terribleness that Game Room has become versus the promise it once had.  It's strangely compelling.

These are starting to become Endurance Runs.

Game Over Penguin 1

The screen can not contain the exciment of 3D Tic Tac Toe.

They would do good to get Midway, Capcom, and SNK games.  Fighting games would be weird in game room because of lack of direct multiplayer but hell why not!  They could have multiplayer enabled in classic mode where it doesn't affect your score.  
 
What if they had Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Smash TV, Samurai Shodown, King of Fighters, Marvel vs. Capcom, Metal Slug, NBA Jam etc?  Game Room would be worth it on top of the classics that are already worth playing.
