I don't know why, but I find the concept of Game Fuel hilarious. It's possibly thanks to it being the dumbest marketing idea in a long time, since it's just a drink that tastes of Gummi Bears and possesses no properties that should ever be able to aid one's gaming habits. Nevertheless, Game Fuel is making its long-awaited return, this time promoting World of Warcraft instead of Halo 3.
The original Gummi Bear "Citrus Cherry" flavor is coming back, rebranded instead as "Horde Red." In addition, a new berry flavor called "Alliance Blue" is on its way. I cannot wait. Game Fuel was around during my first ever trip to America, so it has a somewhat nostalgic quality for me. Now that I live in the States, I shall drink nothing but this cynically marketed fizzy liquid candy. Until the inevitable heart attack stops me.
I shall await this glorious beverage with glee while clapping my fat hands together. You can also look forward to a full Destructoid review of the drink when it hits Walmart shelves. I promise to finish the entire bottle before reviewing!

I will so buy a case of this if it hits my store :D
It's an improvement over the other flavours, in my humble opinion.
I like this picture of you Jim.. almost as much as the one of you drinking Southern Comfort. ^_^
Remeber Jim Gamer Fuel is blatantly better than anything.
Surely this liquid will send you on a gaming rampage that could last days, if not weeks? By the time you snap out of it, you'll have completed Bioshock 2, which isn't even out yet.
The REAL question is ... when the fuck are they going to get rid of that corn syrup shit and start using real SUGAR again? Permanently!!!
Yeah that's right, I used "bias" correctly. It's the new thing.
It's just hilarious to imagine him at a tacobell or something ordering something in the deep south with a monocle and a British accent.
Then we played video games!
GAME FUEL!
<3
See you in court, Jim.
Anyways, cheers to the new gamerfuel! I think I'll try it....once.
Oh and Jim, we all expect you to go into full detail of the 8 hour period after consuming such liquids, a full 15 page report on taste and possible ingredients before you actually look on the can. A full review will consist of no less than this. ;-)
Looks like a new chance
The original Game Fuel was terrible (it just tasted completely artificial).
Maybe I'll give the blue stuff a try. I hope it tastes like blue slushies!
Otherwise, how will I know you finished it? That would severely damage the credibility of your review of this tasty beverage, Jim.
Hopefully "Alliance Blue" will be good. :D
Hey, any of you guys remember Gamer Grub? I heard if you grab some, and wash it back with some gamer fuel, you turn into Miyamoto.
I heard it from a guy. Totally true.
