Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe

[Foxy_Stoat]

People in the UK will probably have watched this already but the genius Charlie Brooker turned his attention to video games for a T.V show. I wrote a review about this on my blog, and thought people here would be interested in reading it. The program is available on iPlayer currently, and should stay there for some time.

I've seen it, and every episode of Screenwipe and Newswipe.

Charlie Brooker is a freaking comedy machine. And he makes good points, as well. ^_^

I read his article on drugs/newspapers it was brilliant it got me really hooked, I prefer to read his articles.

Gameswipe was brilliant, I never knew who Charlie Brooker was until I watched it and now he is one of my favourite comedians.

Charlie also has 3 books released (i think they're all just collections of his articles from the Guardian and his TV reviews though). The Hell of It All was my personal favourite.

I seem to completely agree with pretty much everything Charlie says, plus he was one of the major inspirations for Yahtzee. The man is a legend. Nuff said.

P.S. he's engaged to Konnie Huq from Blue Peter.

I love Brooker. He mixes some fantastic comedy with eloquent critique of the media he's looking at. Was glad to see he did a special on games. Hopefully he might make a series out of it.
