Number of total Blur plays for xbox according to gianbomb is 27 while Red Dead Redemption has 7500, hmmm that makes sense!!!!!!!!!!
You should continue until TNT has covered all of Damon Albarn's projects. Next week will be Gorillaz, of course. Though I suppose someone should make it into a game first...
Really looking forward to a Modnation Racers TNT, but I don't know if it'll happen next week since 3 racers in a row seems like overkill. The load times might make for awkward viewing as well, but I'd really love to see it on TNT regardless.

The reason for playing a game the week that it's out is that it's difficult to have any footage of a game's online multiplayer in the week of its release. GBTNT gives the folks at home who don't have a copy of the game the chance to see what playing online is like, and the early adopters a chance to rub elbows with the elite V.I.P. club of the video games journalism crew. That being said, it would be neat if they went back and played some classic titles, maybe in the lulls where there aren't many big online games being released.
" @Scrumdidlyumptious said:well since the boys dont like sports games, its pretty much allways going to racers, shooters, or maybe some quirky live game. Their ideal games need to have online that involves alot of players at a time, has quick games and allows you to switch people up fast. I would like to see a Burnout paradise classic GBTNT, since that game is awesome and Jeff is really good at it. That or bomberman."

One of the achievements I have it claimed only 2 people had, but then it had 10 people listed with it (and I was not one of them). Not that the current listing of 245 foir the 360 is huge, but over a certain pretty small number it's enough to fill 1/2 a TNT.

Just got my copy of Split/Second because it looked awesome last week. I was debating whether or not to get Blur...hopefully the weather holds out and the power stays on. It's to bad I have to work during the show though. Great new feature guys keep it up.

Actually, now that you mention it... you guys doing a TNT on WoW: Cataclysm the week it comes out would be pretty awesome. Seeing as how we've never seen you guys play WoW before.
I had fully intended to purchase Blur day one but sort of forgot that was this week. Whoops. Somehow I thought it was next week even though I knew they were doing Blur for this weeks TNT. Man, my brain must be miss-firing. Oh well, still looking forward to watching tonight and it will just make me run to the store after work tomorrow to pick it up. Though, I have time, I could do it now but I just took my shoes off, putting them back on would be such a drag.
And be honest, how much chance would game journalists that play 20 different games a week have on the average Halo server? At least with these new games they don't have a skill/experience gap with other players (or less so).
" Awww, thought that said vinyl copy of "Painkiller"! "Heh, I would make a joke about Freewheel Burning or Heading Out to the Highway but those songs weren't on that album.
