BBC & ITV Show Interest in Videogames Industry

Current reports are suggesting that both the BBC and ITV have recently made moves to deepen their involvement with the videogames industry.

BBC & ITV Show Interest in Videogames - GOD HELP US GAMERS

The BBC and ITV would know NOTHIN bout videogames, they show NOTHIN but crap on normal TV. theyll end up bringin out sum dancin game or summin gay that features washed up "Celebrates"

Channel 4 would b the way 2-go, atleast the aint afraid 2 get there hands dirty (Shameless rules)

Channel 4 have a number of shows that would convert well to videogames.

A little off topic - that episode of Shameless last night was the first time in AGES I've laughed-out-loud at a comedy program on British TV!

No Quake 2 ?? Game had a killer soundtrack.

Well, it was neck-and-neck between QUAKE 2 and DOOM on which ID franchise would go on the list. In the end, DOOM won out. Much like FF7 beat out CHRONO TRIGGER on the Square Enix side.

Great to see Silent Hill 2 at number 1 -- good choice!

Thank You. I wish Konami would put it on Steam, tbh. It's kind of absurd that such a masterpiece is currently unplayable (in it's proper form). Many younger gamers deserve to discover it.

theIndianNoob2594d ago

HALO, needed to be on the top 10 list proper, I don't like this Honorable Mention bull, and neither would Master Chief and neither would MS.

JRPG's have amazing soundtracks. My favourite is Phantasy Star Universe.
