Granted I predict it'll be part of 'Craaaaaaazy Adam's Import Game Emporium, where his prices are so low, they're CRAAAAAAAZY', but still, it'll be interesting to see what they say (at least they'll be unable to call it a ripoff of anything, having been released in.... 2002? I don't recall.)

Oh come on, DT, we all know PPP is just a rip-off of Guitar Hero, don't deny it. :P

Ok so it was given a regular game treatment, but no score :( Also only half the footage used actual PPP music, the rest was that canned technocrap they have on the show...

I wish they'd covered one of the Japanese IIDXes though, to cover for their erroneous report that Guitar Hero somehow inspired it.

I wish I did not see that. I didn't think it was possible to actually hate G4 even more but I do now. I got to see the beatmania review now too and that's even worse!!!! They actually make fun of people who play music games, and they obviously NEVER play any of the games they talk about and if they do it's for 5min. Is there some way to complain? because we all should.

I thought the PPP review was actually quite funny, just not the Beatmania one. But I do agree Beatmania has quite a steep, and I mean STEEP learning curve for normal gamers and should really only be played if you're used to rhythm games like DDR and Guitar Hero.

This would be easy but the ads for G4 are now saying that it's the fastest growing cable network. The only thing we could hope for is a real gaming channel that might not ever happen unless someone sees the success of G4 and does it right.

It's also hard to not watch arrested development that will be airing soon. Maybe if it gets a lot of viewers the show can start up again and pull another family guy.

You see the DVD requires money, watching it on G4 doesn't.

It's great that TechTV might be coming back but if I remember correctly it didn't have too much on gaming. Then again if this can come back and be successful that could mean there would be a channel later would rise up against G4. You know it's sad when magrack (the free on-demand channel) can do better.

P.S.- did anyone ever watch steve & dave's video game explosion? It was on really really late on TBS a few years ago and it featured that guy that is at the end of each clerks cartoon. I know they had a review episode for GTAIII that TBS didn't want to be aired but they did it anyway and actually bashed the people from TBS because of it on the episode.
