Quick Look: Game Room for 08/25/10

Did you guys see that fracking shadow? SHADOW.

Game Room Quick Looks must go on forever

" 3 quick looks in ONE day!!!  I have truely died and gone to heaven. "

OH snap SNEAKY LATE QUICKLOOK, gotta get on it

Listen: NEVER STOP DOING THESE.  EVEN IF THEY STOP RELEASING GAMES.
 
Yo, if that happens, just play some old games every week for a few minutes.

We need to keep the Game Room updates!  For science!  For culture!  For entertainment!  For perverted intrigue!  Even if it sucks in every way it is possible to suck, it needs to be done.

So what was the Checkers mascot?

BUT TNT IS GOING ON HOLD ON HOW CAN THIS BE!

 @animateria
Probably, although it is actually the wrong spelling for the game of Checkers, but the right spelling for the Prime Minister's country house. We call it Draughts.

"Skin-peelingly bad".
Game Room, you continue to lulz.

"Don't worry the screen going black is normal... it's thinking...." hilarious.....

That Pinball music reminded me of the first Xmen game of the Genesis

Game Room!

YAY! My favorite part of the week. 
edit: Giant enemy cars.

After three weeks of crap, it's nice to see City Bomber in the game list.

this is the real endurance run

My balls also cast a shadow.

Did alex say he wanted to play APB?

eventually the apathy and cynicism of this feature will be such that we'll get an episode with no dialogue other than long drawn out sighs :]

Remember when Game Room was gonna be Sunset Riders, Raiden, maybe some of the King of Fighters games with a few retro ones thrown in? You 'member that? Now we're to the point where City Bomber actually looks kinda cool by virtue of being workable. 
"It's tennis so real the ball's even got a shahdow." Oh Jeff, that's a pretty funny made up tagline you got there...what do you mean that was the game's real tagline?

its cool to see these old school games.

" Did alex say he wanted to play APB? "

Alex said my username. 
*swoon*

Kind of depressing lol... where are all the real arcade games.

Hey, keep doing that, GB. The games are crap but you guys are great.

I can appreciate a good ball-shadow. 

"The merciless march continues!"  I love it! 
  
I think the only thing of interest at this point with Game Room are these weekly videos.  None of the stuff in there is really for me, it was all before I actually started gaming. 
 
 I had some hope that they would make good on the rumors that they might get Dreamcast stuff on the service, but the fact that they went from 7, to 5, and now 4 games a week isn't really encouraging.

Thank you once again Jeff, for taking the time to keep us updated on this giant boondoggle.

Another great QL. I believe Tennis was the last Activision game to feature a female protagonist.

I love the QL, I really hate the game room. It makes me think of a better HOME, wich isn't much.

Watching these quick looks gives me more joy than any of these games ever could.

My balls have a shadow.

I played some of the Intelevision games growing up, but whenever we see an arcade in it's a game I probably would've cried if I had been taken to an arcade that had them.  This is from someone as a kid that sunk counltess hours into Donkey Kong 3.
 
I really do love these videos, though.

" How much money has Jeff spent for our entertainment? "

About 15 bucks per episode. Not that much really. I bet Gamespot spends about 10 grand on every episode of "today on the spot" considering all those camera people and the post process dudes etc. "

I love these Quick Looks! For some reason I feel part of something because of them? Is that wierd?

These Game Room Quick Looks are the evolution of the Endurance Run.

A real arcade game!!  Praise the lord!  Whoever manages Arcade is a moron for not putting at least two real arcade games in every week, there are THOUSANDS of them, dude!

I wish they made a deal with someone to release late 80's / 90's arcade games. 
Kids must be like "Man arcade games SUCK! Thank god they stopped making those!"

It's almost painful watching this thing die such a slow death.

Some how I get the feeling that Jeff is now funding the devlopment for gameroom :P

Fucking stupid ass Microsoft. Game Room could have really been this awesome thing, but what do you know, they fucked it up big time. It's become one of those things that is really just sad and pathetic. One of those things where if you find yourself doing it, you know you've sunk to the bottom and can only go up. Game Room has become like a person that is way to easy to poke fun at, so doing so even in a joking matter seems kinda mean. Ugh, and to think what could have been.

Hell yeah! Bring out Alex to comment on the soul crushing terribleness of Game Room! Give him a permanent spot too.

It's game room!
