Just watched the show - pretty good but no mention of Wii this week! It's running for the next 6 weeks though so should be some good coverage and reviews on it soon! Oh and if you dont get BBC 2 Scotland you can watch the first show here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 6, 2006 I started watching it from the Animal Crossing bit.It was funny but there was times where I felt they weren't taking things series and there wasn't much of a mention about the Shenmue III campaign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 I started watching it from the Animal Crossing bit.It was funny but there was times where I felt they weren't taking things series and there wasn't much of a mention about the Shenmue III campaign. The power of videoGaiden commands it! Rab and Ryan are at odds over Shenmue 3 (a game that never was). Expect a bloody campaign ahead... OFFICIAL STATEMENT "Ladies, Gentlemen, Barry Burtons… Rise and fight alongside us. videoGaiden proudly presents THE SHENMUE 3 APPEAL, the ultimate campaign to force the games industry into finishing the glorious story that was started by Yu Suzuki all those years ago. With the influence of videoGaiden, the power of the British Broadcasting Corporation, and the collective multimedia might of gamers everywhere, how can we possibly fail? What do we want? We want closure. We want Ryo Hazuki's story to be told to its end. We want to see ambition rewarded. We want a straight "Yes." No other answer will do. We will fight the good fight. We will march on their buildings. We will sing songs of praise. We will write golden words that will lift the hearts of this increasingly cold industry. We will make them all say "Yes." We will make this industry do something for us. We will bring about the promise of Shenmue 3 and it will be our finest moment. Each week on videoGaiden we will be bringing you a report straight from the Campaign Room. Each week we will take the fight that bit further. You will be our global soldiers, our videoGaiden Shenmarines. And we will be asking much of you. The uprising begins on the 5th of November 2006. Failure is not an option." Rab Florence COUNTER STATEMENT "Clear thinking gamers of the world. Your time has come to make a global stand for truth. Which truth? The truth that Shenmue is the most overrated series in video games history. We know this and so do you. However, brothers and sisters, there are some still among us that are convinced otherwise. They tell themselves they "love" Shenmue. They use words like "innovative" and "emotional" to describe these games. Some of these deluded fools are even convinced that today, in the year 2006, a Shenmue 3 release is still a possibility! These people are a sickness and need our help. They need your help. videoGaiden will become base camp for the most significant public service the BBC has ever performed. The suppression of Shenmue 3 propaganda and the reprogramming of Shenmue addicts. With truth we will dissolve the smoke screen of Shenmue. In the coming weeks you must be ready to spread the truth. On every street, in every house, every office building, you must say and wear and be the truth for those that live without it. We at videoGaiden will collate all data concerning our progress and will feedback to you each week via our campaign base. The truth is ours to share my friends. Let them know of it and let them be happy. Suppression and Re-education begins on the 5th of November 2006." Ryan Macleod YOUR TASK IS CLEAR Is the Shenmue saga a videogaming tour de force that needs to be completed? Or is it just an overrated mass of pixel shaders, only good for the Virtua Fighter mini-game? What we want you to do is send us STUFF to indicate which side of the divide you fall. Send us videos, pictures of yourselves in strange locations wielding banners for the yes or no campaign - anything pictorial that we can show on the TV or website. Which means nothing libellous or pornographic. Lets put this argument to bed once and for all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 The last decent videogames show I remember seeing was thumb bandits. Followed by gamertv. Gamepad wasn't as good. But anything beats gamezville. Nothing beats gamesmaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
