OK so that right there, is a link to Charley Brooker's Gameswipe. You can thank me later.

Charley Brooker is a British legend, he generally takes the piss out of the news and TV and is kinda like Jim Sterling, if only Jim had stayed in the UK and got his own TV show.

The games show has a really funny look at how the media treats gaming, and gives an idiot's guide to game genres. All simple stuff, but being as though it's Mr Charley Brooker doing it, it's funny as fuck.

The only part i didn't like was 2D fighters being classified as "Beat em Ups" and the way that for multiplat titles they just picked a console and stuck it's name on it. Still, it's a really interesting and entertaining watch for anyone who likes video games.

Enjoy!

That one isn't working for those outside the UK but you can watch it in several parts on youtube, starting here

Big lols at the ten minute mark there where he bludgeons the corpse of a Nazi soldier to smithereens while stating "It's all right, he's a Nazi." Ahhh legend.

Thanks to Byronic for the link... I can't view the original one because of my region. Watching it now and it looks good! :)

Saw this a while ago. It was awesome. Charlie Brookers Newswipe and Screenwipe are also things everyone should watch.

Charlie Brooker has been on the scene for monkey years, I bet even Jim Sterling was inspired by his satirical look on events, since he was a contributor to PC Magazine, and the two have very similar ways of attacking and criticising people, events and content. Even Yahtzee Crowshaw admits that Brooker was an inspiration to his character on ZP.

Awesome show though, Sterling says an afternoon of Tim Minchin is a well spent one, I say an afternoon of watching and reading Brooker is a better spent one.

Ok I didn’t think I could like Dara O’Briain any more than I do already but then I find out he plays games.

P.S. Listen to Jawshey.

Charlie Brooker got the highest ratings of all the 'Screenwipe' shows with this.

The UK is gagging for good programmes about videogames.
