At least when there're only 4 games, it only costs Jeff 12 bones. But man, those guys sounded defeated before that jaunty tune kicked in.

The community needs to get together and give Jeff a intervention. You don't have to spend money on these games, man!

Omg I could not stop laughing at Sharp Shot. What a miserable game that is. Is E.T. on game room yet, because I think that would make for a classic game room quicklook.

So Konami GT is apparently a race full of Pintos, cars that explode with the slightest tap.

Jeff:  "Fuck you gameroom" [drops controller]   Classic!
 
also, i love how Sharp Shot it was intentionally marketed to 4 year olds and has you as a sub sinking ships.  Ahh, the good ol' days before political correctness and worrying too much about the kids

That wrestling game seemed pretty neat and functional. Not something any sane person would pay 3 dollars for, though.

I completely hate Game Room but FUCKING LOVE the Game Room Quick Looks.  The attitude on the way out explains it all.

quick note to about Sharp shoot origins. 
on some children TV shows, the host would have a call in segment where a kid had a chance to win prizes.

during this segment the lucky winner would get to play by yelling "pow" into their phone and thus controlling whatever action on the screen.  in that context it worked fine, and i remember you could hear the distress in a kids voice sometimes as the stakes were high (in a kid's mind at least.)
 
it wasn't so much a video game onto itself but a cute way to win things./viewer interaction.
 
i had always thought a man behind the scenes was clicking a button each time he heard the the caller say "pow" rather than a real technology. 
 
crazy to sell it off as an actual video game though.

Konami GT lives in my arcade solely due to that awesome explosion you get when you tap another car.  Just wish I could figure out how to get fuel.
 
BTW - Konami deserves big credit for keeping the arcade scene alive in GR. 
 
Long live Gameroom. Gameroom is dead.

Goddamnit Jeff, why do you contribute money to this every week? You're just fueling someone's cocaine addiction. 
 
I bought Crystal Castles for this the week it was released; haven't even booted the thing up since. WHY IS THIS STILL AROUND. Microsoft should just scrap it already, they can't be making any money off this.

Jeff actually sounded quite upset today at the end, especially at the end with the absolute travesty that is Sharp Shot. Game Room was suppose to celebrate the Golden Age of Video Games, not show off why it died.

That Pressure Cooker tune needs a big ol' DnB beat chucked over it.
 
And I've been playing a fair bit of Road Fighter recently on my DS, and that KonamiGT totally just looks like a first person version of that, distance meter and all.
